Young man is angrygirl is afraid
She want to get highhe want to get paid
He had to jump upshe had to sit down
When they heard those words
About the trouble downtown
He had to shoutshe had to cry
He wanted to killshe wanted to die
City’s burning
Cities burning
Grab for the dialtune out the fright
But he turns left and she turns right
She look for love songshe buys the drive
But all they can pull is bad news in tonight
City’s burning
Cities burning
Ooohh mama tell me what do do
Aaahh daddy you better pull us through
