City Is Burning
Don't you know your city is burning down
Ain't no where to run if you're black or your brown
Pressure cooking overload pile it up
Overflow your emotional measuring cup
Everywhere you go and there you are
And your city is burning
Your city is burning
Night falls duty calls get on the riot gear
White shirts higher ups ain't taking no jive this year
Hook em up hoses on lay 'em out across the lawn
Freedom slings a Molotov and justice is down a pawn
Everywhere you go and there you are
And your city is burning
Your city is burning
Something's coming can we cut my brotha loose
Hypocrites have got him hanging from the devil's noose
Politicians praying on the blood soaked promise ground
Musclehead militiamen are weighing in by the pound
Everywhere you go and there you are
And your city is burning
Your city is burning
Ain't no where to run if you're black or your brown
Pressure cooking overload pile it up
Overflow your emotional measuring cup
Everywhere you go and there you are
And your city is burning
Your city is burning
Night falls duty calls get on the riot gear
White shirts higher ups ain't taking no jive this year
Hook em up hoses on lay 'em out across the lawn
Freedom slings a Molotov and justice is down a pawn
Everywhere you go and there you are
And your city is burning
Your city is burning
Something's coming can we cut my brotha loose
Hypocrites have got him hanging from the devil's noose
Politicians praying on the blood soaked promise ground
Musclehead militiamen are weighing in by the pound
Everywhere you go and there you are
And your city is burning
Your city is burning
