Burnin' Streets - Joe Strummer

Lyrics
words to study

The sirens' risin'

There's a distant blues dance on a crowded street

The temperature's a-risin'

Soon you're gonna be runnin' down

Those burnin' streets, come on

The century that's hardly on its feet

And the late news breaks early

Does the sun rise from the west or from the east?

An' it takes every day to be survivin' in the city

London is burnin'; don't tell the Queen

Somebody tried to speak garage and they burnt down Bethnal Green

Piccadilly's yearning, like a reggae beat

Soon you're gonna be runnin' down

Those burnin' streets, come on

And you're waitin' for your flag to be unfurled

And the late news breaks early

So how should life be lived around the world?
