City's Burning

Young man is angry, girl is afraid
 She want to get high and he want to get paid
 She had to jump up, he had to sit down
 When they heard those words about the trouble downtown
 He had to shout, she had to cry
 He wanted to kill and she wanted to die
 City's burning
 Cities burning
 City's burning
 Cities burning
 Grab for the dial, tune out the fright
 But he turns left and she turns right
 She look for love songs, he buys the drive
 But all they can pull is bad news in tonight
 City's burning
 Cities burning
 City's burning
 Cities burning
 Ooh mama, tell me what to do?
 Aah daddy you better pull us through
 Ooh mama, mama, mama, tell me what to do?
 Daddy, you better pull us through
 Young man is angry, girl is afraid
 He want to get high and she want to get paid
 City's burning
 Cities burning
 City's burning
 Cities burning, burning, burning, burning
 City's burning
 Cities burning
 City's burning, burning, burning, burning, burning, ohh
 Cities burning, burning, burning
