London is Burning

Lyrics

[Verse 1] London is burning, don't tell the queen Somebody tried to speak garage and they burnt down Bethnal Green Piccadilly's churning like a reggae beat Soon you're gonna be runnin' down those burning streets [Chorus] Come on, the century that's hardly on its feet The late news breaks early Does the sun rise from the west or from the east? London is burning And it takes every day to be survivin' in the city [Verse 2] The sirens rising from the east There's a distant blues song on a crowded street The temperatures are risin', can you feel the heat? Soon you're gonna be runnin' down those burning streets [Chorus] Come on, you're waitin' for your flag to be unfurled And the late news breaks early So how should life be lived around the world? If London is burnin' And it takes every day to be survivin' in the city Ready to face that dawn with no pity, come on Yeah, come on If London is burning If London is burning [Verse 3] Can I get a witness with a smokeless heat? There's a love triangle on a two-way street London is burning and underneath your feet Soon you're gonna be runnin' down those burning streets [Chorus] Come on, does the universal cop have a beat? And the late news breaks early Did you ever buy that bar on Lucky Street? London is burning And it takes every day to be survivin' in the city Ready to face that dawn with no pity, come on Yeah, come on London is burnin' London is burnin' [Outro] Too many guns in this damn town At the supermarket, you gotta duck down Baby flak jackets on the merry-go-round London is burnin' There's too many guns in this damn town Baby flak jackets on the merry-go-round If London is burnin' There's too many guns in this damn town If London is burnin' And baby flak jackets on the merry-go-round If London is burnin'
