The Clash — Londons Burning

[Intro] London's burnin'! London's burnin'! [Verse 1] All across the town, all across the night Everybody's drivin' with full headlights Black or white ya' turn it on, ya' face the new religion Everybody's sittin' 'round watching television! [Chorus] London's burnin' (With boredom now) London's burning (Dial 99999) London's burnin' (With boredom now) London's burnin' (Dial 99999) [Verse 2] I'm up and down the Westway, in and out the lights What a great traffic system, it's so bright I can't think of a better way to spend the night Than speedin' around underneath the yellow lights [Chorus] London's burnin' (With boredom now) London's burning (Dial 99999) London's burnin' (With boredom now) London's burnin' (Dial 99999) [Verse 3] Now I'm in the subway and I'm lookin' 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 [Chorus] London's burnin' (With boredom now) London's burning (Dial 99999) London's burnin' (With boredom now) London's burnin' (Dial 99999) [Outro] Here we go Yah, here we are riding along the West London motorway On your left we see the tower blocks built in 1963 With a massive repair bill for the GLC And over there you see Westbourne Park They don’t wanna traffic system to park the car London's burnin'!
