London Riots
Listen, there’s a riot going on
In every corner of this town
People are smashing up windows
Looting the shops, going crazy
Lately, I’ve been watching from afar
It doesn’t matter who you are
You’ll be in danger the minute
You step out and stroll down the alley
You can’t sleep safely at night
Pretending it’s gone
In the blink of an eye
But I want to look to the rainbow
Appearing in the sky
People seem to scatter everywhere
And heavy smoke is in the air
I don’t believe what I’m seeing
My neck of the woods is a war zone
Silence is a friend I used to know
Where has it gone, I miss it so
And while the buildings are burning
We all sit and wait for tomorrow
You can’t sleep safely at night
Pretending it’s gone
In the blink of an eye
But I want to look to the rainbow
Appearing in the sky
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
You can’t sleep safely at night
Pretending it’s gone
In the blink of an eye
But I want to look to the rainbow
Appearing in the sky
