London Is Burning

London is burning, don't tell the Queen Somebody charged to Speed Garage And they burned down Bethnal Green Piccadilly's churning like a reggae beat Soon you're gonna be running down Those burning streets, come on The century that's hardly on its feet And the late news breaks early Does the sun rise from the west or from the east? If London is burning And it takes every day to be surviving in the city The siren's rising from the east There's a distant blue sound on a crowded street The temperatures are rising, can you feel the heat? Soon you're gonna be running down Those burning streets, come on They're waiting for your bag to be unfurled And the late news breaks early So how should life be lived around the world? If London is burning And it takes every day to be surviving in the city Ready to face that dog with no pity, come on Yeah, come on If London is burning If London is burning Can I get a witness? Where there's smoke, there's heat There's a love triangle on a two-way street London is burning and underneath your feet Soon you're gonna be running down Those burning streets, come on Does the universal cop have a beat? And the late news breaks early Did you ever buy that bottle off the street? If London is burning And it takes every day to be surviving in the city Ready to face that dog with no pity, come on Yeah, come on If London is burning If London is burning Too many guns in this damn town The supermarket, the colour drop-down Baby flak jackets on the merry-go-round If London is burning Too many guns in this damn town Baby flak jackets on the merry-go-round If London is burning There's too many guns in this damn town If London is burning And baby flak jackets on the merry-go-round If London is burning
