311 - 'Til The City's On Fire Lyrics






Monday morning comes like a hammer head
It goes bang bang bang 'til I'm seeing red
Can't wait for the week to come to an end again, whoa
By the middle of the day I can't get away
I need an escape need a Saturday
Feel like I'm astray I'm trapped in a cage again, whoa

Friday night we made it
Hit the lights we're faded
Raise your glasses
Strike the matches
Burn burn burn
'Til the city's on fire
Daylights far away
Can't stop us there's no way
Raise your glasses
Strike the matches
Burn burn burn
'Til the city's on fire
'Til the city's on fire
'Til the city's on
Raise your glasses
Strike the matches
Burn burn burn
'Til the city's on fire

So who's gonna drive me home this time tonight
So who's gonna drive me home this time tonight, whoa
All the girls doubled down on the boulevard
And my boys hanging out in front of the bar
Now who's gonna drive me home this time tonight, whoa

Friday night we made it
Hit the lights we're faded
Raise your glasses
Strike the matches
Burn burn burn
'Til the city's on fire
Daylights far away
Can't stop us there's no way
Raise your glasses
Strike the matches
Burn burn burn
'Til the city's on fire
'Til the city's on fire
'Til the city's on
Raise your glasses
Strike the matches
Burn burn burn
'Til the city's on fire

Friday night we made it
Hit the lights we're faded
Raise your glasses
Strike the matches
Burn burn burn
'Til the city's on fire
Daylights far away
Can't stop us there's no way
Raise your glasses
Strike the matches
Burn burn burn
'Til the city's on fire
'Til the city's on fire
'Til the city's on
Raise your glasses
Strike the matches
Burn burn burn
'Til the city's on fire
'Til the city's on fire
'Til the city's on
Raise your glasses
Strike the matches
Burn burn burn
'Til the city's on fire

  19. c.... c....

    Que buen reggueton..

  20. B.... T....

    Haven't heard but about half of the album so far; this is my least fave song so far and it's still pretty awesome!

  21. B.... A....

    This song is giving me cancer in real time... And that's coming from someone who's praised 311 since 95.

  22. D.... B....

    This song and On a Roll are the two masterpieces of their career

  23. 3.... J....

    I read that this was their worst song ever, I just want to say it’s an ok song although it sounds like pop music but I like hearing Nick and I like that they sound young even when they make pop music:) always find positives in a negative

  24. S.... ....

    Can't believe I lived to see the day 311 wrote a turn up song lol when I first heard it on the album I was like "what" and then reluctantly bobbed my head to it until I loved it lol

  25. C.... M....

    I LOVE BLINK 311

  26. a.... b....

    Fun song

  27. A.... S....

    It's like that Nickelback video

  31. J.... ....

    Awesome to see live! LOVE IT!!

  32. L.... ....

    When did Maroon 5 change their name to 311?

  33. t.... ....

    This song upset me until I realized I can just pretend it’s not a part of mosaic .
    Other than this hurtful whatever the fuck it is mosaic is soooooo fcking good !

  34. B.... G....

    311 forever :)

  35. A.... ....

    GDI, i fell out for a while, but the truth is, I love you guys.

  36. P.... ....

    A lot of 311 fans are shitting all over this song. I'm a 311 fan, and I think they're a timeless band that the planet Earth will appreciate more in the future.

  37. S.... S....

    You should make another music video like this one.😉😊

  38. S.... D....

    Long time fan; I dig it.

  39. J.... A....

    É ÓTIMO "

  40. P.... S....

    Good until 1:51

  41. c.... c....

    This video and lyrics and everything is just 311 is a nutshell- I love it

  42. m.... ....

    and i love this

  43. m.... ....

    my dad loves this song dude

  44. F.... C....

    👽🔥♵♳♳

  45. K.... M....

    "The Day We turn to pop the show will stop"- (SA Martinez, the Hive 1995)

    K.... M....

    This aint pop

  46. P.... ....

    this song is fucking stupid and sounds like shit. Please stop making music if this is what you're going to do. This has 0 talent and 0 lyrical meaning.

  47. A.... B....

    I know I should be working on music right now, although I keep getting distracted by all the great songs you have on here!

  48. A.... T....

    i wish music videos were more race diversed

  49. D.... ....

    I don’t think there’s a single solo shot of Tim enjoying this song 😂

  50. C.... P....

    Happy 311 Day!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3

  51. A.... ....

    I'm a huge 311 fan but I just can't take a almost 50 year old man singing "Who's gonna drive me home this time tonight?" Like come on this band has so much more talent then this and it lacks on this new album, don't get me wrong I like other songs on this album but not my favorite

  52. N.... #....

    what the fuck happened to 311? my dad gave me a really old cd with no label on it called 'Unity' and it was recorded in my hometown omaha. That album rocks and this stuff sounds like papa roach or 21 pilots type shit.

  53. T.... C....

    Been listening to these guys for my whole life, still love them and their songs. Anyone remember the song amber? Or am I just that old?

  54. j.... M....

    My brother's in cauldron point would be perfect to open for the almighty 311! As I'm not in the band but got mad props for all of them, they went further than the dream we all had back in the early 90s in Malta bend mo listening too 311 everyday!

  55. G.... ....

    Work Work Work rock version just changing Work by Bam Bam Bam

  56. M.... N....

    I love 311, and I honestly believe 'MOSAIC' is easily the best record they've dropped in a loooooooong time, but this song is my least favorite 311 track ever. There are so many better tracks they could've picked for a single....imo.

  57. b.... ....

    jammed down and all mixed up in '94 still jamming 311. Good work gentleman.

  58. C.... P....

    It one time for me to hear it and I was singing it the next day!!!

  59. B.... M....

    There are no fans like 311 fans. Seeing them live is like a family reunion with people you don't know. Brodels!

  60. C.... H....

    I'm thinkin' they're regretting writing this song now that the city (LA) is on fire.

  61. P.... E....

    311 has changed but they haven't gotten worse. If anything, they've gotten better with age.

    P.... E....

    Peter Egan Nope they pretty much lost there signature sound right about now. Gay

  62. V.... O....

    I want to see 311 at a concert soo bad ill maybe even cry for it, i love there songs

  63. T.... R....

    This song is so fun to play on full volume whenever I travel

  64. B.... N....

    I am 11 and I love 311

  65. J.... H....

    Best album since Evolver, but nothing beats Soundsystem, IMO! Enjoying all the songs!

    J.... H....

    Joe H you got no good music taste.

  66. M.... ....

    Why did they make Chad Sexton do that during the break down? That's not cool man :(

    M.... ....

    I don't think they "made" Chad do anything.

  67. W.... ....

    I miss the bite that the 90's old school albums had.

    W.... ....

    Agreed. Not really a fan of anything after Evolver... A few nuggets of goodness on Uplifter. My least liked change is that the sound of Chad's snare drum changed to something less cutting and became more "common." It's a damned shame. I've heard some of their new stuff and I just skip it.

    W.... ....

    People grow up and evolve(er).. they are still 5 friends from Omaha making music. Is there a difference from when they were in their 20s compared to early 50s. Of course. But it is the Same dudes doing what they always have. Stay positive and love your life

  68. H.... C....

    🔊 🚪🙉

  69. J.... T....

    Real 311 fans outta recognize this is classic shit! I can't figure out why there's so much hate & doubt concerning this jam. This is that good feeling musical journey there songs take you through. Anyone remember "Don't Stay Home" ? #fakefans

  70. B.... O....

    I dont mind when they venture into pop, as long as the song is good. Im sorry, this is horrible. Lyrics to this are cringy. Unfortunate too because I thought the album was great. I've loved Nick since my childhood, but this song is 100% on him. Cant imagine Tim, Chad, or PNut writing anything associated with this.

    B.... O....

    Writers: Cervini, Feldmann, N. Hexum, Pauling, Wills

    B.... O....

    They don't make it for you, Brooks. They make it for themselves. If you like it, cool. If not, no one cares

  71. J.... J....

    charity morales eres mi todo mi amor no quiere vive sin ti mi amor te amo te amo te amo porva no eschar con othra personas solo mentiras eres mi vida te quiero mucho

  72. A.... B....

    I like this song. Love the video with the fans, awesome idea

    A.... B....

    Son~Rize Oh! Another internet though guy! Wow! Real tough on social media bro, congrats for that!...

  73. D.... L....

    Is that Sean William Scott at 3:00 with the first "burn"? Sure looks like him.

  74. c.... ....

    My video didnt make it :(

  75. G.... S....

    Awesome song
    Awsome video
    Awsome fans
    WoooHooooo

  76. D.... B....

    311 encouraging wildfires?!?

  77. M.... L....

    I love 311 but sadly they are puppets in the deception of the world. Fitting just prior to the massive gov burn out of CA melting cars yet trees are fine. How did they know the city was going to be in fire? HUMMMM so many "coincidences" like this in the music industry. so many...... perfectly planned albums and timing...... GOD I pray people wake up. I love my stoney baby though

    M.... L....

    Wow. Where can I get some of the drugs you are on?

  78. B.... 2....

    Awesome video !

  79. B.... M....

    Not my fave 311 song, but definitely my favorite video. This is what 311 is about. It's like being at a show, talking to other brodels, complementing t shirts. MY PEOPLE!!!!!!!!

  80. M.... W....

    That's me jammin at 0:29 haha. Thanks for letting the fans jump in on the fun... means a lot!!

  81. L.... L....

    Whoa wha wha what!?!..! What a vibe!

  82. C.... E....

    Very cool and unique sound. Nice to see 311 relevant and current again!!!

  83. W.... ....

    50 people need help

  84. M.... G....

    I guess Rhianna didn't want to purchase this song from the composer. Love some songs on the new album, wish it was written by the band not a bunch of other people.

  85. M.... F....

    I love this song so much!!

  86. r.... v....

    this video its the esence of the album... great song great video... saludos desde venezuela :)HEY VENEZUELA TIL ON FIRE jajajja

  87. K.... M....

    when did 311 start working with Rebecca Black? This is the corniest shit I've ever seen and heard. Still love you guys but damn this is wack! And spare me the "naysayer" comments. Feldman ruined this album. Songs like too late are ace though!

    K.... M....

    Kevin Magone Yes agree

    K.... M....

    Men, and what happens with "fuck the naysayers cause they don't mean a thing cause this is what style we bring"?

  88. B.... M....

    As long as they keep putting out mostly top notch music, a few "radio friendly" songs now and then don't bother me. The more airtime they get, the more shows they'll do and that's what really matters, the concerts. I love 311 for the fact that they are always mixing things up and trying out new styles. Keep it up Nick & Co.!!!

  89. s.... ....

    This video and this song are garbage. Thankfully, there are 16 better songs on MOSAIC.

  90. R.... C....

    This song was an experiment. It either works for you or it doesn't. Sometimes I skip it, sometimes I don't. Anyone who thinks this is the worst thing they've ever done has obviously never heard the hokeyness of full ride or wake your mind up or the entirety of don't tread on me and uplifter. Showdown was pretty lame too. Rock on had like the most half assed rap SAs ever come up with. Those are failed experiments. This is an experiment that worked as it is a memorable solid song, just not in the kinda genre alot of us prefer. When don't tread on me and uplifter were their most current works, it was safe to say they were gonna ruin their legacy. Then in 2011 they picked it back up with universal pulse and these last 2 albums. Stop comparing what they do now to transistor for christ sake. Think about their contemporaries incubus and RHCP..they still continue to beat the shit out of anything they do that's for sure. Incubus I'm the hardest on because they were a band that had more potential than you could ever imagine in 1997 and by 1999 sold out faster than sugar ray. Mosaic got some great cuts on it. And this one isn't one of the best or one of the worst. It's just there and it works for what it is.

  91. H.... ....

    just makes me wanna see you guys live again!

  92. A.... ....

    Chad at 1:50 lol! Get it!

  93. D.... P....

    oh gimme a fuckin break, out of all the songs you had to go and make a video for this one? STOP PANDERING TO MORONS!

    D.... P....

    Daniel Patache AGREE THIS SONG IS CRAP!

  94. P.... W....

    St. Louis!

  95. H.... X....

    Come on guys..... Come to Brazil!!!!!
    Pls!?!?

  96. E.... C....

    Wow totally thought they would get one clip of some firemen. SMH still a sweet video. 311 for Life

  97. A.... D....

    When I heard this the first thing was me want to be able to dance. 💚💜💛🎤🎵
