London’s Burning

Lyrics
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 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 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? 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 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 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? 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? 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?
