The sirens' risin' There's a distant blues dance on a crowded street The temperature's a-risin' Soon you're gonna be runnin' down Those burnin' 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? An' it takes every day to be survivin' in the city London is burnin' don't tell the Queen Somebody tried to speak garage and they burnt down Bethnal Green Piccadilly's yearning, like a reggae beat Soon you're gonna be runnin' down Those burnin' streets, come on And 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') An' it takes every day to be survivin' in the city Ready to face that dawn with no pity, come on! Yeah, ah-come on (London is burnin') Yeah, ah-come on (London is burnin') (Soon you're gonna be run down) (Soon you're gonna be run down) Those burnin' streets, come on! Does the universal cop have a beat? And the late news breaks early Did you ever buy that bar on Lucky Street? An' it takes every day to be survivin' in the city Ready to face that dawn with no pity, come on! Yeah, ah-come on (London is burnin') Yeah, ah-come on (London is burnin') 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 (London is burnin') Baby flak jackets on the merry-go-round (London is burnin') Too many guns in this damn town (London is burnin') Baby flak jackets on the merry-go-round (London is burnin')
