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...
London's burning dial 99999

They can't eat bombs
And we know this
But we're doing what we're told
We're flying around in strategic bombers
With an afterburner straight to hell
Where napalms burning love that smell
My little girl she sits at horne
With my last letter all alone
She stops to read closes her eyes and then she cries
My daddy told me he was proud
My mummy's praying but not too loud
I wonder if the lord will get the massage clear
Oh mummy be shure i'll come back
In a wodden box all painted black
A bullet betwee
