Another night of rioting in England
As police clash with youths in several cities
You went to the stores that you had applied for a job at
Yeah I went across like
I went to Clapham yeah
To go where I handed out a CV I was like yeah
You didn't want to reply back to my e-mail
Well I was like yeah this is payback isn't it Payback man
And what about you Any bad feelings at all
Have you ever thought about it at night
When you've been sleeping in your bed
No 'cause I'm watching my plasma that I just got
Seems like Christmas came early Payback in't it
Heavy is the hand pressing down again again
Something free something in chains
We all came to play the game
Will tomorrow come for the man stuck in the line
There's a rumour circling London's burning from within
EHYY London's burning
And it doesn't matter at all we try
EHYY London's burning
Everything is nothing there's no future in sight
EHYY London's burning
No it doesn't matter at how hard we try
EHYY London's burning
Everything is nothing everything is nothing
My analogy 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 always seem
Dancing on their broken dreams
While London's burning from within
EHYY London's burning
And it doesn't matter at all we try
EHYY London's burning
Everything is nothing there's no future in sight
EHYY London's burning
No it doesn't matter at how hard we try
EHYY London's burning
Everything is nothing everything is nothing
Good morning I've come straight from a meeting
Of the government's COBRA committee
This is criminality
Pure and simple and it has to be defeated
Streets are burning up from end to end
Err yeah this is payback in't it Payback man
Climb each other fall again
This is criminality
Pure and simple and it has to be defeated
Streets are burning up from end to end
Err yeah this is payback in't it Payback man
End to end
EHYY London's burning
And it doesn't matter at all we try
EHYY London's burning
Everything is nothing there's no future in sight
EHYY London's burning
No it doesn't matter at how hard we try
EHYY London's burning
Everything is nothing everything is nothing
Everything is nothing everything is nothing
