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

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
