Our city isn't perfect Our city is a blaze of neon flare Does anybody care Fractured lines in the pavement Embers color the air These streets we named Will never be the same This fire, this fire, this fire we let it This fire, this fire, this fire we let it This fire, this fire, this fire we let it all burn This fire, this fire, this fire we let it This fire, this fire, this fire we let it This fire, this fire, this fire we let it all burn People fall into silence The wind she whistles a song Of hopelessness That carries like a hymn Our city is a burden The waste land under our feet We've come to know Will never be enough This fire, this fire, this fire we let it This fire, this fire, this fire we let it This fire, this fire, this fire we let it all burn This fire, this fire, this fire we let it This fire, this fire, this fire we let it This fire, this fire, this fire we let it all burn If all we do is blame And none cares to listen There's nothing left to say But if we stake our claim Let action speak the loudest We'll dance beyond the flames This fire, this fire, this fire we let it This fire, this fire, this fire we let it This fire, this fire, this fire we let it all burn
