The Motor City Is Burning |
Oh, the motor city’s burnin' |
It ain’t no thing in the world that I can do |
Don’t ya know |
Don’t ya know the big D is burnin'? |
Ain’t no thing in the world that Johnny can do |
My home town burnin' down to the ground |
Worser than Viet Nam |
Well, it started on 12th and Clairmont, this mornin' |
I just don’t know what it’s all about |
Well, it started on 12th and Clairmont, this mornin' |
I don’t know what it’s all about |
The fire wagon kept comin' |
The snipers just wouldn’t let 'em put it out |
Fire bomb bustin' all around me |
An' soldiers was ev’rywhere |
Well, fire bomb fallin' all around me |
And soldiers standin' ev’rywhere |
I could hear the people screaming |
Sirens fill the air |
I don’t know what the trouble is |
I can’t stay around to find it out |
I don’t know, I don’t know |
What the trouble is, this mo’nin' |
I just can’t stay around to find it out |
Takin' my wife an my family |
And little Johnny Lee is clearin' out |
The motor city’s burnin' |
Ain’t a thing that I can do |
Well, the motor city’s burnin' |
Ain’t a thing that I can do |
I just hope, people |
It’ll never happen to you |
Yes, yes, I could hear the fireman |
Said, 'Look, get outta here |
It’s too hot' |
