"Los Angeles Is Burning" is the first single by punk band Bad Religion from their 2004 album "The Empire Strikes First".

The lyrics in the bridge after the second chorus read:

"More a question than a curse "How could hell be any worse?"

"How Could Hell Be Any Worse?" is also the name of their first album released in 1982.

According to Jay BentleyFact|date=July 2008, the lyrics argue that the media is sensationalistic. The music video features men with cameras replacing their heads firing flame into the animated landscape of Los Angeles. It was written at a time when there was a major fire nearbyFact|date=July 2008, but Bentley makes clear that the song was using the fire as a metaphor.

Mike Campbell of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers contributed to the guitar on this track.Fact|date=July 2008
