"World's On Fire" is the fifteenth track off of Mike Shinoda's debut solo album, Post Traumatic.
Background
One of the samples for "World's On Fire" came from Mike's daughter coming into the studio while he was recording vocals and making a noise that was perfectly in key and on time, so he sampled it and put it into the song.[1]

Live
"World's On Fire" was debuted in New York City as the encore opener alongside "Robot Boy". Every performance of the song had the bridge extended with Dan performing a drum solo and Mike performing the "Robot Boy" synth solo. The pairing also opened a few shows on the Monster Energy Outbreak Tour, beginning with Charlotte. While it was usually performed after the instrumental version of "Robot Boy", when the song was performed in the middle of the set, it was almost always played on its own.

Lyrics
Don't think I need to say this
'Cause you know what's in my head
"Fucked up" is an understatement
Can't wait for this year to end
It all fell apart, don't know where to start
Everything moves so slow
I can't get a break, it's too much to take
But closing my eyes I know
When the world's on fire, all I need is you
I don't always think to say it but it's true
When I just wanna disappear, you're the one who keeps me here
The world's on fire, all I need is you
The riot's on the horizon, calling each others' bluff
The smoke's filling up the skies and they say we should pack it up
Maybe the blaze will take this away, to ash and to earth below
Tell me to breathe, you still believe closing my eyes I know
When the world's on fire, all I need is you
I don't always think to say it but it's true
When I just wanna disappear, you're the one who keeps me here
The world's on fire, all I need is you
When the world's on fire, all I need is you
I don't always think to say it but it's true
When I just wanna disappear, you're the one who keeps me here
The world's on fire, all I need is you
The world's on fire, all I need is you
The world's on fire, all I need is you
