Motor City Is Burning

歌詞

Ooh, the Motor City is burning, babe, there ain't a thing in the world that I can do Don't you know, don't you know, the big D is burning, ain't a thing in the world lil' Johnny can do My hometown burning down to the ground, worser than Vietnam It started on 12th Clair Mount that morning, I just don't know what it's all about It started on 12th Clair Mount that morning, I don't know what it's all about The fire wagons kept comin', the snipers just wouldn't let them put it out Fire bombs bursting all around me, and soldiers was everywhere Oh fire bombs falling all around me, and soldiers standin' everywhere I can 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 morning, I just can't stay around to find it out Takin' my wife and my family, and lil' Johnny Lee is ??? out The Motor City is burning, ain't a thing that I can do Ooh the Motor City is burning, ain't a thing that I can do I just hope people, it'd never happen to you Yes yes, I can hear the firemen He said "hey get out of here"
