Burning Down

(album: Cheer Up Charlie - 2018)

The-the-the city's burning down
Won't you come and watch?
They will diagnose you sick for a common cough
And when you're on your deathbed
Tell you run it off
So how we ever gonna win?

The city's burning down
The city's burning down
The city's burning down
The city's burning down
The city's burning down (burning down)
The city's burning down (burning down)
The city's burning down (burning down)
The city's burning down

Everybody's famous
They're all superstars
Cause their Instagram account decides how cool they are
Who's got the bigger watch
Who's got the newer car
Don't know where they're going
But they're leaving fast

I said the city's burning down
Wanna come and see?
They'll give you the cold shoulder in a hundred degrees
Cause they're cruel about the money, won't do nothing for free
You need to know where you're going if you're coming with me
I said the

City's burning down
Won't you come and watch?
They will diagnose you sick for a common cough
And when you're on your deathbed
Tell you run it off
So how we ever gonna win?

The city's burning down
The city's burning down
The city's burning down
The city's burning down
The city's burning down (burning down)
The city's burning down (burning down)
The city's burning down (burning down)
The city's burning down

Everybody's famous
What's the reason why?
Cause the kids want to be what they see online
Always talking about themselves
Yeah it's "me and I"
Heads buried in their phones they see and laugh

I said the city's burning down
Want to come and stare?
Well we don't want your opinions
Leave your comments there
Yeah we've all got our issues and our problems here
And we all pack a punch cause we've come prepared
I said the

The city's burning down
The city's burning down
The city's burning down
The city's burning down
The city's burning down (the city's burning down)
The city's burning down (the city's burning down)
The city's burning down (the city's burning down)
The city's burning down (the city's burning down)

I see the city burning down now
I see the city burning down now
I see the city burning down now
I see the city burning down now
I see the city burning down now (burning down)
I see the city burning down now (burning down)
I see the city burning down now (burning down)
I see the city burning down now
I said the

City's burning down
Won't you come and watch?
Diagnose you sick for a common cough
When you're on your deathbed
Tell you run it off
How we ever gonna win, ay?
