About This Track

'Doom' by IDLES is on the album 'Caught Stealing (The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)' and was released in 2025. The lyrics are furious and incendiary, using repeated imagery of setting fire to everything around the narrator, from a town and a flag to “your book of lies” and the tools of authority. The chorus spells out a relentless programme of destruction, aimed at both public symbols and private reputations, with the tone running confrontational and contemptuous.

"Doom" is a track by IDLES, from the album Caught Stealing (The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), released 29th August 2025. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about IDLES.

Lyrics

Doom

[Chorus]

Fire, fire

[Verse 1]

Set fire to the town I'm in

Set fire to your boys and your kin

Set fire to the flag held high

Set fire to your book of lies

Set fire to your gun and your badge

Set fire in reprimand

Set fire to your nice review

Set fire to the tools you use

[Chorus]

Fire, fire

[Verse 2]

Blazing arrow through a deafening hum

Set fire till kingdom come

Catastrophic, maiming hell sun

Set fire till my work is done

Snoop her journal, mark my words

Set fire to all you've heard

[Chorus]

Fire, fire

[Bridge]

Praise the pain, praise the gore

Set fire to your war and your law

Set fire to your flag held low

Set fire to all you know

Lay rest to the warmth of the cause

Set fire to the fire that's yours

[Chorus]

Fire, fire

IDLES’ ‘TANGK’ was a turn towards love, but not a departure from ‘Joy As An Act Of Resistance’
