lyrics

(2017)

it started quickly then no one could put out the fire
im standing cause i can't find anywhere to lie down and die
the skeletons of old apartment buildings stand on by
a lady crying looks up at me and meets my eyes

new york city burning in a sea of flame.
those who can't take it anymore lie down in the side of the lane
I can hear gunshots! and smell putrid butane
the lanes are piled with those trying to run away

(2020)

i drove in circles round and round the hottest block
oddly gentle is the air though hot enough to melt solid rock
the doors are wide open in the back of a uhaul truck
"we're not leaving anyone behind" painted where there once were locks.

we knew who flicked the match it became obvious
for when everything was at its most dangerous
they meant for us to die or they weren't serious
more than an army strong all one in the name of us

new york city burnin, new york city burnin, new york city burnin, new york city burnin
