Something in the city or a name at Lloyds Networking yuppies and the same old boys Safe in gla** houses of high finance Now there's a change of circumstance Walls of Jericho tumble down The river floods into the underground You can't buy your way out this one It's the great fire of London The great fire of London Ruthless and Godless material men Making damn sure the meek inherit nothing You looked down your noses at the waifs and strays
And pissed on the homeless in shop doorways Burn down London London burn down Corpses at Smithfield where martyrs burned Political d**hs because you never learn Millions die to enrich the few You screwed the world, now the world screws you A monument to a world gone wrong Feed the inferno till kingdom come The first are last, there's nowhere left to run From the great fire of London The great fire of London
