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
