It was in London Where we heard the revolution From Covent Garden All the way down to Brixton It was in Tottenham Man got shot by a policeman A young girl went to test them Went up against the system Oh oh, I don't know Who are you Who are you On the television Of course they blame the youth for disruption Cause they took Fortnum & Mason And nothing said about the shooting Just the looting It was in London It was in London And it was thunder Caught between love and anger From Trafalgar All the way up to Camden Can you believe this is London? Can you believe this is London? Can you believe this is London? Can you believe this is London? Can you believe this is London? Can you believe this is London? Can you believe this is London? London town, London town London town, London town
