City's Burning
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Young man is angry, girl is afraid
She want to get high, He want to get paid
He had to jump up, she had to sit down
When they heard those words
About the trouble downtown
He had to shout, she had to cry
He wanted to kill, she wanted to die
City's burning
Cities burning
Grab for the dial, tune out the fright
But he turns left and she turns right
She look for love songs, he buys the drive
But all they can pull is bad news in tonight
City's burning
Cities burning
Ooohh mama tell me what do do
