City’s Burning Songtext
von Pebe Sebert

It′s like a jungle in this heatwave
Sweat rolls down the dirty streets
The hunchback lady asks me each day
"Why did you send your son away?"
And I tell her
I always tell her
This ain't no place for a kid to be
This ain′t no place for a kid to be
City's burning, always burning
The city's always burning
City′s burning, always burning
City′s always burning
"Would you like white wine on ice?"
The lady said as my eyes saw the TV
Without sound, there were bloody children covering the ground
But no one cares, no one sees
Some unknown actress is talking to me
And I tell her
I try to tell her This ain't no place for a kid to be
This ain′t no place for a kid to be
City's burning, always burning
The city′s always burning
City's burning, always burning
The city′s always burning
And to my son, I leave this world
Of all the hate
This killing place
It's all I have to give to you
Put out the fire
Search for the truth
Go to sleep, my little buckaroo
Close those sleepy eyes
And have a dream or two
Don't you know
Our busy day is through
So go to sleep, my little buckaroo
