The heat is on, but the power is out You're fighting to get out of town Cars will crash And the streets they're filled with trash It's got you wondering how long this blackout will last It's got them looting in Times Square Purse snatchings everywhere City meter maid giving parking fines Rats they bite your feet by the curbside Let's set fire to the city Cause the lights are out Are you with me? The subway trains they won't go Air conditioners won't blow cold You don't give a damn cause the beers gonna flow Laughing cause they're scared down in Soho Let's set fire to the city Cause the lights are out Are you with me? Let's set fire to the city Cause the lights are out Are you with me?Let's set fire to the city Cause the lights are out And you know that we'll burn this town
