Hey, the world's on fire
And we're just killing time
While it all expires
Take a number, get in line

Once we thought we'd try
But we failed and let it die
Hey now let's not cry
Just sit back, remember

The moment we crossed the line
And we realized we'd run out of time
We gave up and just watched the fire
Remember, remember, remember

We're just here to watch it burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
Time is up and it's our turn, turn, turn, turn, turn
You would think that we would learn, learn, learn, learn, learn
We're just here to watch it burn, burn, burn, burn, burn (here to watch it burn)
Here to watch it burn!

It's easy to deny
Shrug our shoulders and just sigh
Said we won't comply
Can we say we really tried?

So just say good bye
Get swept out with the tide
Now enjoy the ride
Just sit back, remember

The moment we crossed the line
And we realized we'd run out of time
We gave up and just watched the fire
Remember, remember, remember

We're just here to watch it burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
Time is up and it's our turn, turn, turn, turn, turn
You would think that we would learn, learn, learn, learn, learn
We're just here to watch it burn, burn, burn, burn, burn (here to watch it burn)

Hey, the world's on fire
And we're just killing time
Hey, the world's on fire
And we're just killing time
Hey, the world's on fire
And we're just killing time
Hey, the world's on fire

We went to dark places
We thought that we could save this
But we gave up 'cause we can't change this
We went to dark places
Let's just erase this

We're just here to watch it burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
Time is up and it's our turn, turn, turn, turn, turn
You would think that we would learn, learn, learn, learn, learn
We're just here to watch it burn, burn, burn, burn, burn (here to watch it burn)
Here to watch it burn!
Burn! We're just here to watch it burn!
Burn! We're just here to watch it burn!
