City's Burning

Young man is angry, girl is afraid

She want to get high and he want to get laid

She had to jump up, he had to sit down

When they heard the news

About the trouble downtown

He had to shout, she had to cry

He wanted to kill and she wanted to die

City's burning, city's burning

City's burning, city's burning

Grab for the dial, tune out the fright

But he turns left and she turns right

She looks for love songs, he buys the drive

But all they can pull is bad news in tonight

City's burning, city's burning

City's burning, city's burning

Ooohh mama tell me what to do

Aaahh daddy you better pull us through

Ooohh mama, mama, mama tell me what do do

Aaahh daddy, daddy, daddy you better pull us through now

[Guitar Solo]

Young man is angry, girl is afraid

She want to get high and he want to get laid

City's burning, city's burning

City's burning, city's burning

City's burning, city's burning

City's burning burning burning burning burning

City's burning burning burning
