kobo town – karachi burning lyrics
[verse 1]
last night i awoke to the sound
(town of karachi burning down)
the people was adding wrong to wrong
(town of karachi burning down)
they was burning buses and looting stalls
(town of karachi burning down)
man, they beating the rickshawallahs and all
(town of karachi burning down)
i never seen in all of my days
how grief could set a city ablaze
i never seen in all of my days
how grief could set a city ablaze
some people beating their chest in shame
(town of karachi burning down)
still others chanting ms. bhutto’s name
(town of karachi burning down)
and to underscore what they mean
(town of karachi burning down)
they dousing the whole place in kerosene
(town of karachi burning down)
as if all the sticks and stones and strife
could restore a leader to life
as if the sticks and stones and strife
could restore a leader to life
some said it was the taliban
(town of karachi burning down)
still others said it she own husband
(town of karachi burning down)
a man had the bat out for imran khan
(town of karachi burning down)
rumours was flying through the land
(town of karachi burning down)
as if all the malicious talk
could make the dead to get up and walk
as if all the malicious talk
could make the dead to get up and walk
last night i awoke to the sound
(town of karachi burning down)
last night i awoke to the sound
(town of karachi burning down)
