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
