bad religion – los angeles is burning




[Verse 1]

Somewhere high in the desert near a curtain of a blue

Saint Anne’s skirts are billowing

But down here in the city of limelights

The fans of Santa Ana are withering


And you can’t deny the living is easy

If you never look behind the scenery

It’s showtime for dry climes

And bedlam is dreaming of rain



When the hills of Los Angeles are burning

Palm trees are candles in the murder wind

So many lives are on the breeze

Even the stars are ill at ease

And Los Angeles is burning

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]

This is not a test

Of the emergency broadcast system

Where Malibu fires and radio towers

Conspire to dance again


And I cannot believe the media meekness

We’re calling this an exercise

Imagined conversation

Ghostly simulation



The newsman sang his song

As discontent played along

And the fool played it cool

On the 52-inch screen

[Final Chorus]

And the hills of Los Angeles are burning

Palm trees are candles in the murder wind

So many lives are on the breeze

Even the stars are ill at ease

And Los Angeles is burning




Los Angeles is burning…
