Story behind the song
This song was inspired by recent news events effecting the world and this country and the frustration caused by these events.
Lyrics
WATCHING THE WORLD BURN VERSE: Once again fighting a war Just like thirty years before Contractors are getting rich Deployed for the third time, what a bitch From roadside bombs, soldiers die War machine sucking the country dry No one knows where this is going Or how much money, we are blowing. CHORUS: News events make my stomach churn Some days, I like to watch the world burn Bad news everywhere you turn Some days, I like to watch the world burn Watching it burn. Watching it burn. Just watching it burn. Just watching it burn. VERSE: Banks from mismanagement starting to fail To save the economy, looking for a bail Track records shows they can’t manage money Giving them more, seems kind of funny They’ve proven that they can’t win So we want to feed them again? Why not let them crash Time to take out the trash CHORUS: VERSE: Auto makers are in deep trouble Can’t continue to live in a bubble Bailing them out doesn’t seem too bright After all, Darwin was right Building big cars that no one wants to buy Maybe it’s time for them to die After thirty years, they didn’t learn Light a match and watch them burn CHORUS:

Coooool concept!!! I like the lyrics,you have a talented lyricist inside you Do you write the words first and the music second or the opposite?Just wondering,it seems your music is very straight forward and repetative,which is good,but it seems like you take two separate things and try to make them match and somtimes,again with the sylables( i cant spell worth a flip lol)but I have done this many times before and the trick is to be flexable with one or the other,in other words,if I record the music first,then I have to take the lyrics and change them to fit the music or vice versa but i have found it easier to change lyrics than the music.and you dont have to change the idea or sentence(verse) but learn to word the sentence a bit differently For example: you' ve got Contractors are getting rich (7 sylables) Deployed for the third time,what a bit^^(9 sylables) I suggest(right along with the melody) The con trac tors gett ing rich strum strum

Feels like it's burning right now in SW New Mexico (hot summers) ; ^)) Agree with previous posters - excellent written lyrics - in truth about our society. Cheers, Bob

Brilliant lyrics. Such a super-cool delivery, memorable melodies, a retro punk era sound and feel, back when music meant everything, fantastic!
