We Burned the City Down

Well misery loves company That's why we're thick as thieves Let's move out to the country And live just the way we please We'll make ourselves a little home A garden and a fire Forget the shit we left behind And follow our desires We'll write a song and sing along And sway unto the sound And the, it will go like this: We Burned the City Down We Burned the City Down Yeah, We Burned the City Down Cause I believe the devil lives In towers made of steel With subway cars and crowded bars That suck away the feel Of cool grass underneath you feet And sun that warms the skin Our lives are made of shiny plastic, Plexiglass and sin Let's get out of this city Out past every burgh in town Someday we'll tell our children "Hey, we burned the city down" We Burned the City Down Yeah, We Burned the City Down Eventually the memories Of our old lives will fade No longer slaves to modern ways No money to be made We'll raise our children in our image Only as they are And teach them how to farm their way And how to read the stars And every night our family Will make a joyful sound And sing of that triumphant day We Burned the City Down We Burned the City Down Yeah, We Burned the City Down We Burned the City Down Yeah, We Burned the City Down
