We Burned the City Down - Toadies

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 chorus, 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
