Lyrics The Temper Trap

The Temper Trap

London's Burning

Heavy is the hand pressing down again and again

Something free, something get chains

We all came to play the game

Will tomorrow come for the men stuck in the line?

There's a rumor circling

London's burning from within

Hey, London's burning

And it doesn't matter how hard we try

Hey, London's burning

Everything is nothing, there's no future in sight

Hey, London's burning

No, it doesn't matter how hard we try

Hey, London's burning

Everything is nothing, everything is nothing

Ideology isn't nothing on the streets

No one cared and no one looked

Till she threw the judge's book

Now who's the one to blame when the children go insane?

Dancing on their broken dreams

While London's burning from within

Hey, London's burning

And it doesn't matter how hard we try

Hey, London's burning

Everything is nothing, there's no future in sight

Hey, London's burning

No, it doesn't matter how hard we try

Hey, London's burning

Everything is nothing, everything is nothing

The streets are burning up

Climb each other and fall again

The streets are burning up

Hey, London's burning

And it doesn't matter how hard we try

Hey, London's burning

Everything is nothing, there's no future in sight

Hey, London's burning

No, it doesn't matter how hard we try

Hey, London's burning

Everything is nothing, everything is nothing

Everything is nothing, everything is nothing
