The Lyrics
They burned this city
They burned this city to glowing coal
Burned this city
They burned this city to glowing coal
Santa Ana’s blowing. It’s not a gentle breeze.
So you don't care what grows beneath all those trees.
Waist deep in the scrub brush, dried up in the drought,
Too many embers fly for us to put them out!
May'r Bass flew off to Ghana, then learned on the radio
Will you remember?
They burned this city
They burned this city to glowing coal
They burned this city
They burned this city to glowing coal
Burned this city
They burned this city to glowing coal
Karen Bass and Newsom’s finger-pointing game,
Looking right at each other, finger-pointing blame!
Money meant for firetrucks went to D-E-I,
The Smelt got all the H-2-O, hydrants all were dry!
May'r Bass flew off to Ghana, then learned on the radio
Will you remember?
They burned this city
They burned this city to glowing coal
They burned this city
They burned this city to glowing coal
Burned this city
They burned this city to glowing coal
It's yet another news break
Of a burning new street
Plenty of smoke to choke on, oh
More thousands flee the heat
Who counts the bodies underneath the ash?
Who turned eight-figure homes to these piles of trash?
The state blames the city; the city blames the state,
And though he’s not yet sworn back in, they both shoot Trump some hate.
(I'm looking out for that HOLLYWOOD sign through another fiery smoky Saturday and flames chasing that bumper to bumper traffic.)
Will you remember? (remember)
(Here's your all news radio station, in your tragically flaming city, the city in the smoke, the wind that roars, the fires that never burn out.)
May'r Bass flew off to Ghana, then learned on the radio
Will you remember?
They burned this city
They burned this city to glowing coal
They burned this city
They burned this city to glowing coal
Burned this city
They burned this city to glowing coal
Burned this city (oh)
They burned this city to glowing coal
Burned this city
They burned this city to glowing coal
(They burned, they burned this city) burned this city (They burned this city)
(They burned, they burned this city) burned this city (They burned this city)
(They burned, they burned this city) burned this city (They burned this city)
(They burned, they burned this city) burned this city (They burned this city)
