The Clash - London’s Burning lyrics

London's burning london's burning

All across the town, all across the night
Everybody's drivin' with full headlights
Black or white you turn it on
You face the new religion
Everybody's sittin' 'round
Watching television

London's burning (With boredom now)
London's burning (Dial 99999)
London's burning (With boredom now)
London's burning (Dial 99999)

I'm up and down the Westway
In and out the lights
What a great traffic system, it's so bright
I can't think of a better
Way to spend the night
Than speedin' around underneath
The yellow lights



London's burning (With boredom now)
London's burning (Dial 99999)
London's burning (With boredom now)
London's burning (Dial 99999)

Now I'm in the subway and
I'm lookin' for the flat
This one leads to this block
This one leads to that
The wind howls through the empty
Blocks looking for a home
I run through the empty stone
Because I'm all alone

London's burning (With boredom now)
London's burning (Dial 99999)
London's burning (With boredom now)
London's burning (Dial 99999)

Here we go yeah, here we are riding along
The West London motorway
On your left we see the
Tower blocks built in 1963
With a massive repair bill for the GLC
And over there you see Westbourne Park
They don't want a traffic system
To park the car london's burning
