Lyric London s Burning

(Strummer/Jones)

London s burning! London s burning!

All across the town, all across the night
Everybody s driving with full headlights
Black or white turn it on, face the new religion
Everybody s sitting round watching television!

London s burning with boredom now
London s burning dial 99999

I m up and down the Westway, in an out the lights
What a great traffic system - it s so bright
I can t think of a better way to spend the night
Then speeding around underneath the yellow lights

London s burning with boredom now
London s burning dial 99999

Now I m in the subway and I m looking for the flat
This one leads to this block, this one leads to that
The wind howls through the empty blocks looking for a home
I run through the empty stone because I m all alone

London s burning with boredom now...
