I Set the World on Fire Lyrics

Hundred miles an hour down a twisting turning road
Bottled up. shaken up, ready to explode

I set the world on fire
I set the world on fire

Tired of making promises I know I won't keep
Over you and what you do
Tired of being deceived

I set the world on fire
You can't put it out putting me down
I set the world on fire
So now you can watch me let it burn down
I set the world on fire

Let it all burn down, ah
All burn down, down

Tired of making promises I know I won't keep
Tired of making promises I know I won't keep

I set the world on fire
Let it all burn down
I set the world on fire
Let it all burn down
I set the world on fire
You can't put it out putting me down
I set the world on fire
Let it all burn down
I set the world on fire
Now you can watch me let it burn down

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
