Heavy is the hand pressing down again and again
Some things free, some things 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


The streets are burning up everywhere
Climb each other and fall again

The streets are burning up everywhere

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
