From Croydon to Clapham
Lewisham, to Peckham
Bristol, Liverpool to Birmingham
Slow down your rage
Oh where art thou Mr Boris
Mr Cameron, Mr Clegg "pretender"
Mr Politician
A stone in puddles
Someone light a match
And now London is burning
The politicians sat on holiday benches
Talking tough, they're talking tough
And now London is burning
Lets not take things for granted
A man died a life was lost, clouded in mystery
And now London is burning
Engulfed in flames, anarchist and looters
Frustrated youths like wild animals, let loose on riot
With old sanctuaries, of youth centres, closed on austerity
And now London is burning
Crisis stands as the seat in town, spreading havoc, to beyond
New chic in town, jobless youth with no prosperity
And now the markets are burning
Bulls into bears in market stands, countries on default
Paper stock losing value overnight, sell, sell, sell
Oh ready steady panic, hardship engulf
And now London is burning
And now London is burning
