The Temper Trap - London's Burning lyrics
[The Temper Trap - London's Burning lyrics]
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 (came early)
Payback isn't it heavy is the hand
Pressing down again and again
Somethings free, somethings get chains
We all came to play the game
Will tomorrow come
For the men stuck in the line
There's a rumor circling
London's burning from within
Hey, London's burning
And it doesn't matter how hard we try
Hey, London's burning everything is nothing
There's no future in sight
Hey, London's burning
No, it doesn't matter how hard we try
Hey, London's burning
Everything is nothing, everything is nothing
Ideology 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 go insane
Dancing on their broken dreams
While London's burning from within
Hey, London's burning
And it doesn't matter how hard we try
Hey, London's burning everything is nothing
There's no future in sight
Hey, London's burning
No, it doesn't matter how hard we try
Hey, 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
The streets are burning up from end to end
(Err, yeah
This is payback isn't it? Payback man)
Climb each other and we'll fall again
(This is criminality
Pure and simple and it has to be defeated)
The streets are burning up from end to end
(Err, yeah
This is payback isn't it? Payback man)
End to end
Hey, London's burning
And it doesn't matter how hard we try
Hey, London's burning everything is nothing
There's no future in sight
Hey, London's burning
No, it doesn't matter how hard we try
Hey, London's burning
Everything is nothing, everything is nothing
Everything is nothing, everything is nothing
As police clash with youths in several cities
You went to the stores that you
