The rain falls east The rain falls west It makes no difference To the rain It soaks the streets Of our unrest There is no shelter From the pain
Who's gonna tally Up the cost How many innocent Lives are lost In the crossfire Of the battles being waged
Don't be afraid To take the heat Tonight we're taking back The street
London is Burning with a fire In the hold Who'll control These gutters of gold Gutters of gold What price survival Tally up the latest toll Blood will flow In gutters of gold
You see the hate In letters tall Scrawled on the caves Where cowards hide Another tribe On a cinder wall How high upon the totem Must you ride
Who's gonna rule this Sacred ground Who's gonna stop this Clash of power What's gonna make this Frightened city stand as one
Don't be afraid To take the heat Tonight we're taking back The street
Paris is Burning with a fire In the hold Who will control These gutters of gold Gutters of gold What price survival Tally up the latest toll Blood will flow Heads will roll
These are the streets of my childhood Paved with my dreams Of my youth Most of its buildings Are scorched out shells Just like our hopes Just like the truth
Chicago is Burning with a fire In the hold Who'll control These gutters of gold Gutters of gold What price survival Tally up the latest toll Who'll control These gutters of gold Gutters of gold
New York is burning Belfast is burning Moscow is burning Gutters of gold Gutters of gold Miami's burning Detroit is burning L.A. is burning Gutters of gold Gutters of gold
These gutters of gold These gutters of gold These gutters of gold...
