  • Can you believe this world's got the nerve to insist
    they won't trade for a better one?
    Can you believe this world's yellin' out in the dark
    it wants to be left alone?
    Can you believe this world never woulda had the chance
    without us giving it blood?
    Can you believe this world lacks the common courtesy
    to thank us all for the love?

    [Chorus:]
    Set it on fire!
    Set it on fire!
    Set it on fire!
    Set it on fire!
    Set it on fire! [x3]

    Can you believe this world's like a glassy eyed swiller
    caught sippin' another one?
    Can you believe this world's like a tyrant taking over
    anything that it wants?
    Can you believe this world's like a wounded martyr
    worried if his commitment is gone?
    Can you believe this world's like a vagrant in the
    gutter talkin' nothing is wrong?

    [Chorus:]
    Set it on fire
    Set it on fire
    Set it on fire
    Set it on fire
    Set it on fire [x3]

    Can you believe this world's just a double dealin'
    joker, gonna stick to his guns?
    Can you believe this world's just a television blaring,
    a million devils at once?
    Can you believe this world's just a charmer in disguise
    with a lavender soul?
    Can you believe this world's just exactly as we built
    it, runnin' out of control?

    [Chorus:]
    Set it on fire!
    Set it on fire!
    Set it on fire!
    Set it on fire!
    Set it on fire! [x3] Writer/s: DENNIS CRAIG HERRING, PAUL MEANY, TEDD TJORNHOM
