Angeles Is Burning Lyrics - The Empire Strikes First - Bad Religion

Somewhere high in the desert near a curtain of a blue 

Saint Ann's skirts are billowing 

But down here in the city of lime lights 

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 on the breeze 

Even the stars are ill at ease 

And Los Angeles is burning

This is not a test 

Of the emergency broadcast system 

When Malibu fires and radio towers 

Conspire to dance again 

And I cannot believe the media Mecca 

They're only trying to peddle reality 

Catch it on prime time, story at nine 

The whole world is going insane 

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 

A placard reads "the end of days" 

Jacaranda boughs are bending in the haze 

More a question than a curse 

How could hell be any worse? 

The flames are starting, the camera's running 

So take warning

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
