Burn Down Los Angeles Lyrics

I come from the mountains, down to the water
I come to drink from the dreams of your sons and your daughters
I come from the summer off of the rails
With my hammer in hand about to hit it on the nail

I'm gonna burn down Los Angeles
Burn down Los Angeles
Burn down Los Angeles
I'm gonna burn down, burn...

I come for revenge for my broken dreams
I didn't come to wait tables or park limousines
I come to get up from my hands and knees
I come to steal the honey from those killer bees

Burn down Los Angeles
I'm gonna burn down Los Angeles
Burn down Los Angeles
I'm gonna burn down Los Angeles

I'm gonna burn... down Los Angeles
I'm gonna burn... down Los Angeles
I'm gonna burn down Los Angeles
I'm gonna burn down Los Angeles
I'm gonna burn down Los Angeles
Burn down Los Angeles

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.
