grace petrie - london's burning lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
london’s burning, london’s burning
fetch the engines, there’s none left
london’s burning, there’s no learning here
it’s just mindless, pointless theft

[pre-chorus]
and call them home, secretary, call those children home
the police budget cut a little too close to the bone
and we will not tolerate behaviour of this violent sort
it’s just not enough to cut one summer holiday short

[chorus]
i’m none the wiser to what went through people’s heads
as they donned their hoods and visors and tore london town to shreds
and i’m called a sympathiser ’cause i have the cheek to ask
what makes girls and boys decide to burn their city in a mask?
what makes girls and boys decide to burn their city in a mask?

[verse 2]
london’s burning, london’s burning
call the coppers, there’s none left
london’s burning, we’re not for turning here
it’s just thuggery and theft

[pre-chorus]
and call them home, secretary, call those children home
the police budget cut a little too close to the bone
and we will not tolerate behaviour of this violent sort
it’s just not enough to cut one summer holiday short

[chorus]
i’m none the wiser to what went through people’s heads
as they donned their hoods and visors and tore london town to shreds
and i’m called a sympathiser when i have the cheek to ask
what makes girls and boys decide to burn their city in a mask?
what makes girls and boys decide to burn their city in a mask?

[bridge]
and i guess that britain was broken long before britain was broke
and i’m told there is no context to a city lane in smoke
no politics to a youth devoid of empathy and hope
am i only the one getting the joke?

[chorus]
i’m none the wiser to what went through people’s heads
as they donned their hoods and visors and tore london town to shreds
and i’m called a sympathiser ’cause i have the cheek to ask
what makes girls and boys decide to burn their cities in a mask?
what makes girls and boys decide to burn their cities in a mask?
