London’s still burning down

Revolution need’s returning now

For wasted youth in topman jeans

Out on the frontline

Just canaries in the coalmine

So sick at heart that you can’t breathe

So sing alone like it’s the last time

And throw your bodies on the gears

We’ll have the party of a lifetime

You’ll hear it ringing in your ears

I came from old town

Soon enough they kicked me off the high ground

Booze and barbiturates keeping me down

So sing along like it’s the last time

And throw your bodies on the gears

This is the party of a lifetime

You’ll hear it ringing in your

Oh-oh-oh

So sing along like it’s the last time

And throw your bodies on the gears

The sound of apathy of freedom

You’ll hear it ringing in your ears
