Lyrics

Brooklyn Is Burning

You strangle people with a piercing stare I can't believe I made it The way you operate is so severe, so severe I hate it You strangle people with a sneering grin I can't believe I made it Brooklyn is burning down the discotheque, discotheque Let's shake it I feel the fire tonight I hear, I hear the people cry I see all the people now I got, I got what the people want You send a message in the atmosphere and everyone starts running The way you operate is so severe, so severe So cunning You send a message in your beady stare and everyone starts running Brooklyn is burning and by fireside, by fireside, we're dancing I feel the fire tonight I hear, I hear the people cry I see all the people now I got, I got what the people want You strangle people with a piercing stare I can't believe I made it The way you operate is so severe, so severe I hate it You strangle people with a sneering grin I can't believe I made it Brooklyn is burning down the discotheque, discotheque Let's shake it I feel the fire tonight I hear, I hear the people cry I see all the people now I got, I got what the people want I feel the fire tonight I hear, I hear the people cry I see all the people now I got, I got what the people want
