  • Our city isn't perfect

    Our city is a blaze of neon flare
    Does anybody care
    Fractured lines in the pavement
    Embers color the air
    These streets we named
    Will never be the same

    This fire, this fire, this fire we let it
    This fire, this fire, this fire we let it
    This fire, this fire, this fire we let it all burn

    This fire, this fire, this fire we let it
    This fire, this fire, this fire we let it
    This fire, this fire, this fire we let it all burn

    People fall into silence
    The wind she whistles a song
    Of hopelessness
    That carries like a hymn
    Our city is a burden

    The waste land under our feet
    We've come to know
    Will never be enough

    This fire, this fire, this fire we let it
    This fire, this fire, this fire we let it
    This fire, this fire, this fire we let it all burn

    This fire, this fire, this fire we let it
    This fire, this fire, this fire we let it
    This fire, this fire, this fire we let it all burn

    If all we do is blame
    And none cares to listen
    There's nothing left to say
    But if we stake our claim
    Let action speak the loudest
    We'll dance beyond the flames

    This fire, this fire, this fire we let it
    This fire, this fire, this fire we let it
    This fire, this fire, this fire we let it all burn Writer/s: ADAM JOHN SPARK, ADAM PETER WESTON, GLENN MICHAEL SARANGAPANY, IAN LEWIS KENNY, IAN PATRICK BERNEY
