City Burning Tonight

Rage and despair

Fills the air

City burning

City burning tonight

Fucking assholes

Killing blackfolks

City burning

City burning tonight

And I

Don't wanna

Hear notha

Fool sayin

God's gonna

Take care o

Them

Cause it's

A goddam

Lie just to

Placate the

Rage of the

Youn'un

City burning

City burning tonight
