London'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.

Heavy is the hand pressing down again and again

Some things free, some things get chains

We all came to play the game

Will tomorrow come for the men stuck in the line?

There's a rumor circling

London's burning from within

Hey, London's burning

And it doesn't matter how hard we try

Hey, London's burning

Everything is nothing, there's no future in sight

Hey, London's burning

No, it doesn't matter how hard we try

Hey, London's burning

Everything is nothing, everything is nothing

Ideology isn't nothing on the streets

No one cared and no one looked

Til she threw the judge's book

Now who's the one to blame when the children go insane?

Dancing on their broken dreams

While London's burning from within

Hey, London's burning

And it doesn't matter how hard we try

Hey, London's burning

Everything is nothing, there's no future in sight

Hey, London's burning

No, it doesn't matter how hard we try

Hey, London's burning

Everything is nothing, everything is nothing

The streets are burning up everywhere

Climb each other and fall again

The streets are burning up everywhere

Hey, London's burning

And it doesn't matter how hard we try

Hey, London's burning

Everything is nothing, there's no future in sight

Hey, London's burning

No, it doesn't matter how hard we try

Hey, London's burning

Everything is nothing, everything is nothing

Everything is nothing, everything is nothing
