City's Burning
Young man is angry, girl is afraid
She want to get high and he want to get paid
She had to jump up, he had to sit down
When they heard those words about the trouble downtown
He had to shout, she had to cry
He wanted to kill and she wanted to die
City's burning
Cities burning
City's burning
Cities burning
Grab for the dial, tune out the fright
But he turns left and she turns right
She look for love songs, he buys the drive
But all they can pull is bad news in tonight
City's burning
Cities burning
City's burning
Cities burning
Ooh mama, tell me what to do?
Aah daddy you better pull us through
Ooh mama, mama, mama, tell me what to do?
Daddy, you better pull us through
Young man is angry, girl is afraid
He want to get high and she want to get paid
City's burning
Cities burning
City's burning
Cities burning, burning, burning, burning
City's burning
Cities burning
City's burning, burning, burning, burning, burning, ohh
Cities burning, burning, burning
