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
