Verse 1

5-4-3-2-1 lets start a fire

Burn this town from inside out

Til no one's left alive

 And you can't feel the rhythm of

 your steps when you hit the street

 Sixteen's so far away from here

when you're counting every step

Chorus

5-4-3-2 what are you waiting for?

 The train is catching up

 keep on running don't look back

 Cause its 10-9-8-7 everybody's

 coming to burn this city

 burn this city down tonight

 Leave it all behind

Verse 2

All his life he lived

 in this same house

Same white fence surrounding

him he swore he would get out

 But he can't cause his foot

 got caught in between in the rails

 And all his friends were up ahead

They can't hear him yelling

yelling for some help

 And it's much too late

 to call the doctor now

This town is full of

sympathies we're drowning in it all

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

Burn the city! Burn the City!

Burn the city! Burn the City!

Burn the city! Burn the City!

Burn the city! Burn the City!

sings in backup vocals:

Is that the sound of the gate

(Repeat)

Breakdown

Outro

When we press our ears to

 the ground we feel the shake

Can't get up to put the

petals in their place

5-4-3-2 What are you waiting for?

Burn this city burn this city tonight
