  • Well, they say that we are tragic
    And they say we're born to lose
    You're the misfit, I'm the sinner
    You're the Eve and I'm the fool
    But, today, you'll be the master or the slave
    It's up to you
    Or my beautiful disaster
    Take me any way you choose

    Don't fight it
    Ignite it
    There's much ashore

    I think it's time you set this world on fire (this world on fire)
    I think it's time you push it to the edge (to the edge)
    Burn it to the ground and trip the wire (just trip the wire)
    It may never be this good again, oh

    It's like a new religion
    Speak in tongues, come see the light
    Do not trip from inhibitions that will only waste my time
    Let me tempt you with the evils of the flesh and so much more
    Like a Babylon redeemer
    Like a pusher, like a whore

    Just try it
    You'll like it
    I'll give you more

    I think it's time you set this world on fire (this world on fire)
    I think it's time you push it to the edge (to the edge)
    Burn it to the ground and trip the wire (just trip the wire)
    It may never be this good again, oh

    It's so dark, I can't see
    All the truth inside us
    All I want is to feel something that's real before the end

    Close the door
    Turn the key
    Do you like
    What you see?
    Kill the lights
    Oh, come to me
    Set it off tonight
    Baby, just set fire to gasoline

    I think it's time you set this world on fire (this world on fire)
    I think it's time you push it to the edge (to the edge)
    I'm so fuckin' bored, so trip the wire (just trip the wire)
    It may never be this good again

    Just trip the wire (just trip the wire)
    This world's on fire (this world's on fire)
    Just trip the wire (just trip the wire)

    It may never be this good again Writer/s: MYLES KENNEDY, SAUL HUDSON
