Lyrics Fire - AYO, Youssoupha

Fire

Is anybody listening?
The city’s on fire
The town is burning down
But there’s no water
Is anybody listening?
The city’s on fire
The town is burning down
But there’s no water
8 million citizens
Nobody’s really listening
Nobody’s really watching
8 million ignorant
8000 teachers we do many preachers
A thousand of leaders but nobody leads us
2 million beggars
4 million pleasers
We are the world, but they don’t believe us
Get to got no funds, get to ain’t no fun
Get to kid’s got guns, 'cause they got no one
Get to got no funds, get to ain’t no fun
Get to kid’s got guns, 'cause they got no one
No one, no one, no one
Is anybody listening?
The city’s on fire
The town is burning down
But there’s no water
Is anybody listening?
The city’s on fire
The town is burning down
But there’s no water
Is anybody listening?
The city’s on fire
The town is burning down
But there’s no water
Is anybody listening?
The city’s on fire
The town is burning down
But there’s no water
Nobody’s listening to the sounds of the street
The clam, the violence, the silence, the heat
5 million set free out of 5 million desperate
1 million hurt, thousands arrested
The times are changing, why is this singing?
Everybody’s praying
Forgive us Father for all of our sins
The hatred, the weak, the innocents
The city’s on fire
The town is burning down
There ain’t no sound of silence
Tell me who’s gonna help us now?
Nobody’s listening
8 million people rioting
Looking for shelter
But they got nowhere to go
Is anybody listening?
The city’s on fire
The town is burning down
But there’s no water
Is anybody listening?
The city’s on fire
The town is burning down
But there’s no water
Is anybody listening?
The city’s on fire
The town is burning down
But there’s no water
Is anybody listening?
The city’s on fire
The town is burning down
But there’s no water
