Carl Barât, The Jackals - The Gears lyrics

London’s still burning down
Revolution need’s returning now
For wasted youth in topman jeans

Out on the frontline
Just canaries in the coalmine
So sick at heart that you can’t breathe

So sing alone like it’s the last time
And throw your bodies on the gears
We’ll have the party of a lifetime
You’ll hear it ringing in your ears

I came from old town
Soon enough they kicked me
Off the high ground
Booze and barbiturates keeping me down

So sing along like it’s the last time
And throw your bodies on the gears
This is the party of a lifetime
You’ll hear it ringing in your

Oh oh-Oh

So sing along like it’s the last time
And throw your bodies on the gears
The sound of apathy of freedom
You’ll hear it ringing in your ears
