SWMRS - Berkeley's On Fire Lyrics
My mama called me up because there's fire on the streets
Of all the Berkeley Police
And they're all slobs doing stupid jobs
And we're having indigestion in the belly of the beast
Because we're slobs doing stupid jobs
And you put your pom-poms down
You didn't wish it, go
Bail out your guilty ass
It's not your business uh
Put your pom-poms down
You didn't wish it, go
Bail your guilty ass out
Berkeley's on fire
Your TV lies
Berkeley's on fire
Berkeley's on fire
I'm still alive
I don't know why
Berkeley's on fire
There's plenty different versions
On and off your TV screen
Of us at night
The property destroyed
Because TV news is bad for you
And bad TV is news for you
It's just a ploy, keep you under control
Too many, too many motherfuckers
Confusing this freedom speech with swastikas
Like Milo Yiannopolous
Okay, so we broke a little window
Little fight out in the street
But that's our job
Protect you from these slobs
And you put your pom-poms down
You didn't wish it, go
Bail out your guilty ass
It's not your business uh
Put your pom-poms down
You didn't wish it, go
Bail your guilty ass out
Berkeley's on fire
Your TV lies
We'll be alright
Berkeley's on fire
Berkeley's on fire
I'm still alive
I don't know why
Berkeley's on fire
Berkeley's on fire
Berkeley's on fire
Your TV lies
We'll be alright
Berkeley's on fire
Berkeley's on fire
I'm still alive
I don't know why
Berkeley's on fire
You better put your pom-poms down
You didn't wish it, go
Put your pom-poms down
You didn't wish it, go
Put your pom-poms down
You didn't wish it, go
Put your pom-poms down
You didn't wish it, go
Put your pom-poms down
You didn't wish it, go
Put your pom-poms down
You didn't wish it, go
Put your pom-poms down
You didn't wish it, go
Put your pom-poms back down

SWMRS Berkeley's On Fire Comments
When are we going to get an instrumental
This music video is *lifeeee* I cant even explain how much *I fucking love ITTTT*
*[picks up usb]*
someone please take this off my head i'll lose lose lose my mind
Weird question but does anyone know what font 'behave' is written in for this video?
This sounds like antifa propaganda....
I love this! You wanted to sound different you did it. I hope you find your dreams every waking day.
Finally. Some good modern music
Corona Capital. 🔥🔝
This is probably the stupidiest song I've ever seen.
Greendays retarted son
This sounds very "british" to me. Reminds me of Skins episode, the party on season. It had a Foals track similar to this. This is awesome.
I fucking love this band to an infinite extent they deserve the world
Chorus sounds like terrible talking heads ripoff this is the worst song ive ever heard , this band sucks , beach goons was much much better
Saw them open for Muse in Philly. Couldn't wait for them to be done. Completely generic.
There’s only 171k views damn huh? this band deserves at least 10 times more views on their every single video i aM PISSED
Ill bet money you are a sheltered, ignorant pack of bRats.
Feels very Ramones.
Introduced to this band when they opened for Muse a few nights ago in DC.
And I was like "what the FLIP?" But in a good way. This song stood out as a particularly fun one. Very cool band! I shall keep listening to more! :)
Wow I Love it swmrsband
Λάνθιμος παντού
I fucking love this band
Something about this song reminds me of
https://youtu.be/tmozGmGoJuw
2:42 was literally me the first time I listened to this song
This is quality content
I used to dislike this song, but after listening to it multiple times, it grew on me. Don’t know how, but it did.
Who's the girl at 0:20 ?
Interesting how their whole album differs for this and itself, I like that.
Anybody else really hearing "Romantic Rights" by Death From Above 1979? Great song btw
this is probably the only SWMRS song i don't like
I didn't like it at first, but it's kinda growing on me.
This sounds like a punk band doing a rap song with the trap hi hats. This seems to be a big step down in quality from Drive North. It's way too overproduced that I can't hear Joey's drumming all that well. It sound more like a computer doing all the drumming. And the lyrics are bland.
Edit: The rest of the album was good.
Ben Shapiro should watch it
Hell yeah!!!
It sounds so much better with headphones tho
This is very Sleaford Mods esque. Very cool :)
yea but Berkeley does suck and the assholes who protested a speaker are pretty fucking backward cunts
I’m just reading through all the comments and I’m just like... ohh so this is where all the emo kids went when mcr broke up
i saw swmrs live once and i didnt fuck with them, but i'm glad i gave this a chance because its really good
ANYBODY KNOW THE TABS
main riff:
e---
b---
g-----------5---5
d-------4-----------4
a---5
e---
just repeat that
chords are d5, gm, a5 on e string, back to d5
Top Cascavel Brasil é nos
this album is going to be fucking amazing
Sis snapped
i love this song so much
🤘🤘🤘
Great sounding track... But cringy SJW lyrics. What a shame.
Fuck i missed SWMRs
(dropped my headphones banging to chorus)
sounds like damaged goods by gang of four
And Paradise has been reduced to ashes.
Most underrated song of the year
U N D E R R A T E D
This is wild , this the next it ! It's fire
This song kinda of reminds me of my chem's danger days album
Incase you didn't know one of the guys in the band is the son of Billie Joe Armstrong, the lead singer of Green Day.
In the best way possible, this sounds like something that would have been on the Burnout Paradise soundtrack. This song is fucking great.
Verse 1]
My mama called me up because there's fire on the streets
Of all the Berkeley Police
And they're all slobs doing stupid jobs
And we're having indigestion in the belly of the beast
Because we're slobs doing stupid jobs
[Pre-Chorus]
And you put your pom-poms down
You didn't win shit, go
Bail out your guilty ass
It's not your business uh
Put your pom-poms down
You didn't win shit, go, go
Bail your guilty ass out
[Chorus]
Berkeley's on fire
Your TV lies
We'll be alright
Berkeley's on fire
Berkeley's on fire
I'm still alive
I don't know why
Berkeley's on fire
[Verse 2]
There's plenty different versions
On and off your TV screen
Of us annoyed
The property destroyed
Because TV news is bad for you
And bad TV is news for you
It's just a ploy, keep you under control
Too many, too many motherfuckers
Confusing this freedom speech with swastikas
Like Milo Yiannopolous
Okay, so we broke a little window
Little fight out in the street
But that's our job
Protect you from these slobs

And you put your pom-poms down
You didn't win shit, go
Bail out your guilty ass
It's not your business uh
Put your pom-poms down

Bail your guilty ass out
[Chorus]
Berkeley's on fire
Your TV lies
We'll be alright
Berkeley's on fire
Berkeley's on fire
I'm still alive
I don't know why
Berkeley's on fire
Berkeley's on fire
Berkeley's on fire
Your TV lies
We'll be alright
Berkeley's on fire
Berkeley's on fire
I'm still alive
I don't know why
Berkeley's on fire
[Post-Chorus]
You better put your pom-poms down
You didn't win shit, go
Put your pom-poms down
You didn't win shit, go
Put your pom-poms down
You didn't win shit, go
Put your pom-poms down
You didn't win shit, go
Put your pom-poms down
You didn't win shit, go
Put your pom-poms down
You didn't win shit, go
Put your pom-poms down
You didn't win shit, go
Put your pom-poms back down

*BROCOLIS ON FIRE*
Fucking weird. A video trying to be deep but just looks like a weird mess.
This song reminds me of the monks
I love this song however, swastikas are apart of freedom of speech. And Milo isn't a nazi btw.
my wig has disintegrated
Love this song!
This was so fucking good live man ✌
Badass song but their politics are retarded

FUCK YEAH
YES PLEASE
Hate how political music is...what ever happened to "figuring it out"
im confused but i love it
The new album isnt even out or announced yet and it already owns my soul
i saw swmrs at this teeny tiny venue in january 2016 right before drive north was released, and i got to meet them all after the show. they're honestly the most down to earth, genuine, fun, kind dudes ever. they've managed to create their own unique sound in an era where everything sounds the same, and they do it damn well. their lyrics are always great and i could watch their music videos for hours and still be entertained. been with these boys since emily's army and i'll be loving their music forever
“Confusing freedom of speech with swastikas” oh you guys are soooooo punk. Please tell me more about destroying a city over mean words 🙄🙄🙄
