City Lyrics
(Lets watch it burn)x2
Lets watch this city burn the world Lets watch this city burn From the skylines on top of the world Till theres nothing left of her Lets watch this city burn the world Watch things burn to ash Go through empty cans of gas The only evidence they have Is the police sketch of my mask And its hardly time to ask If you can save my heart for last And its hard to face the facts When the darkness fades to black Its not just make believe When they make me take a seat And they put amphetamines In the air and make me breath So come on and grab your children Look out for burning buildings And villains, who pillage They kill them by the millions And billions of people die For a lost cause So now I pray to my nation That's destroyed under God (It's the end of the world) All my battles have been won But the war has just begun Lets watch this city burn From the skylines on top of the world Till theres nothing left in her Lets watch this city burn the world The city looks so pretty Do you wanna burn it with me Till the skies bleed ashes And this fuckin' sky crashes We make ashes with matches Ignite the flame And all the hopes of a young teen Fuckin' insane, they say Take the pill And go get drunk And go get killed Double dose Acid lines, acid dust Breathing till there is no breath I will not die in the night But in the light Of the sun with the ashes Of this world in my lungs But who am I to say Lets all just run away Grab your saints and pray We're gonna rule the world today (It's the end of the world) As in heaven, as on Earth We've been done since our birth Lets watch this city burn From the skylines on top of the world Till theres nothing left in her Lets watch the city burn the world (Lets watch the city burn)x2 The city looks so pretty Do you wanna burn it with me The city looks so pretty Do you wanna burn it with me The city looks so pretty Do you wanna burn it with me We use the trees as torches Do you wanna burn it with me Fill the streets with corpses Do you wanna burn it with me Watch the city fuckin' bleed Do you wanna burn it with me Bring the world to its knees Do you wanna burn it with me Lets watch this city burn From the skylines on top of the world Till theres nothing left of her Lets watch this city burn the world Lets watch this city burn From the skylines on top of the world Till theres nothing left of her Lets watch this city burn the world Lets watch it burn Lets watch it burn Lets watch this city burn the world |

Go through empty cans of gas
The only evidence they have
Is the police sketch of my mask
And its hardly time to ask
If you can save my heart for last
The Correct Lyrics are
"Body doused in ash"
"with two empty cans of gas"
The only evidence they have
Is the police sketch of my mask
And its "hard at times" to ask
If you can save my heart for last
And on this part
"Take the pill
And go get drunk
And go get killed
Double dose
Acid lines, acid dust "
I'm not sure what it says but I know its not "go get drunk"
it sounds something like "let go of trust" or something similar
and I dont think he says "double dose" either, but I have no idea what he could be saying.
anybody agree with me on any of that?

"Take the pill
And go get drunk
And go get killed
Double dose
Acid lines, acid dust"
he says
"Take the pill, in God we trust,
Go and kill, God loves us.
As in life, as in death
breathing till there is no breath"

But who am I to say
Lets all just run away
Grab your saints and pray
We're gonna rule the world today
im pretty sure he says "grab your things and pray"
could be friends and pray but "things" makes more sense

The double dose line sounds more like all else is us.

Go and Kill
God loves us
As in life, as in death

As in heaven, as on Earth
We've been 'done' since our birth
the real lyrics are:
As in heaven, as on Earth
We've been 'dead' since our birth

"And all the hopes of a youth
deemed fucking insane
take the pill
in god we trust
go and kill"
"We've been dead since our birth"
Though, I'm 14, so I can't really comment from an adults point of view.
Also, about how some people think that god is going to just make life okay and we won't have to do anything ourselves. Which is total bull shit in my atheist view ^^
"So now I pray to my nation
That's destroyed under God"
"But who am I to say
Let's all just run away
Grab your saints and pray"
Basically I think the point is that instead of continuing our downward spiral, we need to burn everything down and start over.
By the way, does anyone know about the religious beliefs of the members of Hollywood Undead? :o

i also agree with SubliminallySic that it could be about war.

"Let's watch this city burn from the skylines on top of the world. Let's watch this city burn the world"
What I get from that line is the "city" may be Washington D.C. since that is where the governmental body is and that's where our decisions our made to go to war or "burn the world" And the line about "the skylines on top of the world" might be a reference to how the U.S. tends to regard itself so highly and so much better than other countries. Or also it could be saying how the U.S. is always involved in other countries affairs so we are the "skyline" of the world.
o come on and grab your children
Look out for burning buildings
And villains, who pillage
They kill them by the millions
And billions of people die
For a lost cause
So now I pray to my nation
That's destroyed under God
(It's the end of the world)
All my battles have been won
But the war has just begun
This verse seems to reiterate the war theme. The lines "So now I pray to my nation
That's destroyed under God" could possibly be a hint of another World War
"All my battles have been won but the war has just begun" Could be talking about how our "war on terror" is finished but just in time for other countries to attack us.
That's may take on it, anyone else agree or have any other ideas or elaborations?

they're talking about burning L.A.
and about how its so "glamorized", but its not this perfect place everyone believes it to be.
its Hollywood Undead.
They're amainzing yes, but their not putting THATTTT much inner thought into their songs,
they're pretty self explanatory. They tell how it is, they dont hide inner and deeper meanings in their songs, they want people to understand completely where they are coming from.
ily HU.
seeing them again for the 3rd time on the 28th ^_^

its kinda tricky listen a few times
The city looks so pretty do you wanna burn it with me?
Till the skies bleed ashes and this fuckin' skyline crashes.
They catch us with the matches and ignite the flame,
And all the hopes of a youth deemed fuckin' insane.
They say... Take the pill, in God we trust,
Go and kill, God loves us.
As in life, as in death,
Breathing until there is no breath.
I will not die in the night, but in the light of the sun,
With the ashes of this world in my lungs.
But who am I to say let's all just run away,
Grab your saints and pray and we'll burn this world today.
It's the end of the world...
As in Heaven, as in Earth, we've been dead since our birth.

For a lost cause
So now I pray to my nation
That's destroyed under God '
u can see that they think the war is stupid to be in. why help one nation be better when america can't even handle itself at this point.

Check that sh*t Foo'
Let's watch it burn...
Let's watch it burn...
Let's watch this city burn the world.
Chorus:
Let's watch this city burn,
from the sky lines on top of the world,
Till there's nothing left in her,
Let's watch this city burn the world.
My body doused in ash, with two empty cans of gas,
The only evidence they have is a police sketch of my mask.
And it's hard at times to ask if you can save my heart for last,
And it's hard to face the facts when the darkness fades to black.
It's not just make believe when they make me take a seat,
And they put amphetamines in the air and make me breathe.
So come on and grab your children, look out for burning buildings,
And villains who pillage, they're killin' by the millions.
And billions of people die for a lost cause,
So now I pray to my nation destroyed under God.
It's the end of the world...
All my battles have been won but the war has just begun.
(Chorus)
The city looks so pretty do you wanna burn it with me?
Till the skies bleed ashes and this f**kin' skyline crashes.
They catch us with the matches and ignite the flame,
And all the hopes of a youth deemed f**kin' insane.
They say... Take the pill, in God we trust,
Go and kill, God loves us.
As in life, as in death,
Breathing until there is no breath.
I will not die in the night, but in the light of the sun,
With the ashes of this world in my lungs.
But who am I to say let's all just run away,
Grab your saints and pray and we'll burn this world today.
It's the end of the world...
As in Heaven, as in Earth, we've been dead since our birth.
(Chorus)
Let's watch it burn...
Let's watch it burn...
The city looks so pretty do you wanna burn it with me?
The city looks so pretty do you wanna burn it with me?
The city looks so pretty do you wanna burn it with me?
The city looks so pretty do you wanna burn it with me?
We'll use the trees as torches
Do you wanna burn it with me?
We'll flood the streets with corpses
Do you wanna burn it with me?
We'll watch the city f**kin' bleed
Do you wanna burn it with me?
And bring the world to its knees
Do you wanna burn it with me?
(Chorus)
Let's watch this city burn,
from the sky lines on top of the world,
Till there's nothing left in her,
Let's watch this city burn the world.
Let's watch it burn, let's watch it burn
Let's watch it burn, let's watch it burn
Let's watch this city burn the world...

What I think of when I hear this song, I think of the band members are in L.A., but it is burning. There is chaos, as people are running everywhere, firemen are trying to put out the fires, but they won't go out. Near the end, an angel appears, touching the city, and everything appears normal, but it is a warning to the people of the city. The glamorous life isn't always glamorous.

(Lets watch it burn)x2
Lets watch this city burn the world
Lets watch this city burn
From the skylines on top of the world
Till theres nothing left of her
Lets watch this city burn the world
Lying doused in ash
with two empty cans of gas
The only evidence they have
Is the police sketch of my mask
And its hard at times to ask
If you can save my heart for last
And its hard to face the facts
When the darkness fades to black
Its not just make believe
When they make me take a seat
And they put amphetamines
In the air and make me breath
So come on and grab your children
Look out for burning buildings
And villains, who pillage
Their killing by the millions
And billions of people **die**
For a lost cause
So now I pray to my nation
Destroyed under God
(It's the end of the world)
All my battles have been won
But the war has just begun
Lets watch this city burn
From the skylines on top of the world
Till theres nothing left in her
Lets watch this city burn the world
The city looks so pretty
Do you wanna burn it with me
Till the skies bleed ashes
And this fuckin' sky crashes
We make ashes with matches
Ignite the flame
And all the hopes of athe young deemed
Fuckin' insane, they say
Take the pill
In god we trust
Go and kill
God loves us
As in life, as in death
Breathing till there is no breath
I will not die in the night
But in the light
Of the sun with the ashes
Of this world in my lungs
But who am I to say
Lets all just run away
Grab your saints and pray
We're gonna burt this world today
(It's the end of the world)
As in heaven, as on Earth
We've been dying since our birth
Lets watch this city burn
From the skylines on top of the world
Till theres nothing left in her
Lets watch the city burn the world
(Lets watch it burn)x2
This city looks so pretty
Do you wanna burn it with me
This city looks so pretty
Do you wanna burn it with me
This city looks so pretty
Do you wanna burn it with me
This city looks so pretty
Do you wanna burn it with me
We'll use the trees as torches
Do you wanna burn it with me
Fill the streets with corpses
Do you wanna burn it with me
We'll watch the city fuckin' bleed
Do you wanna burn it with me
And bring the world to its knees
Do you wanna burn it with me
Lets watch this city burn
From the skylines on top of the world
Till theres nothing left of her
Lets watch this city burn the world
Lets watch this city burn
From the skylines on top of the world
Till theres nothing left of her
Lets watch this city burn the world
Lets watch it burn
Lets watch it burn
Lets watch this city burn the world
**die** it can be die or dying it sounds the same cause its said so fast.

Ignite the flame"
I hear
"They catch us with matches
Ignite the flame"
"Take the pill
In god we trust
Go and kill
God loves us
As in life, as in death"
I hear
"Take the pill
In god we trust
Go and kill
All of us
As in life, as in death"
It's probably not right, just a hunch

I can't really go into depth of what I think this song is really about because it's so strong and probably has many meanings.
Although the main point of the song, which is "burning the city", could mean that since society in a way is getting worse, whether it's to do with drugs, alcohol, crime, terrorism, almost "burning" in a way, but not literally...it's almost as if they are saying, "society is burning itself, why not just burn the whole city down?"
Just a thought.
