Lyrics
Ooh
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 realised 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 goodbye
Get swept out with the tide
Now enjoy the ride
Just sit back, remember
The moment we crossed the line
And we realised 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 (ahh)
We thought that we could save this
But we gave up 'cause we can't change this (ahh)
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)
