Songs That I Love #26 The Ruts - Babylons Burning

1979 I can't believe it, punk rock with a pop edge. Great song. In view of the recent riots seems more relevant now.

Babylon's burning
You're burning the street
You're burning your houses
With anxiety

With anxiety
Babylon's burning
Babylon's burning
With anxiety
Babylon's burning
Babylon's burning

Babylon's burning
You're burning the street
You're burning the ghetto
With anxiety

With anxiety
Babylon's burning
Babylon's burning
With anxiety
Babylon's burning
Babylon's burning

Babylon's burning, baby
Can't you see?
Babylon's burning
With anxiety

You'll burn as your work
You'll burn at your play
smouldering
With ignorance and hate

And with anxiety
Babylon's burning
Babylon's burning
With anxiety
Babylon's burning
Babylon's burning

Babylon's burning, baby
Can't you see?
Babylon's burning
With anxiety

Babylon's burning
Babylon's burning
Babylon is... burning
Babylon's burning
Babylon's burning
Babylon's burning
