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
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
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)
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
coming down no flashing
lights no warning
5-4-3-2-1
 (Repeat)
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
