Ya know the motor city is burning babe
There ain't a thing in the world that they can do.
Ya know the motor city is burning people
There ain't a thing that white society can do.
Ma home town burning down to the ground
Worser than vietnam.
Let me tell you how it started now ...
It started on 12th & clairmount that morning.
It made the pig cops all jump & shout
Ah said it started on 12th & clairmount that morning
It made the pigs in the street freak out.
The fire wagons kept comin' baby
But the black panther snipers wouldn't let them put it out wouldn't let them put it out wouldn't let them put it out.
Guitar solo "get it on ... "
Well there were fire bombs bursting all around people ya know there were soldiers standing everywhere.
I said there was fire bombs bursting all around me baby ya know there was national guard everywhere.
Ah can hear my people screaming.
Sirens fill the air fill the air fill the air.
Guitar solo
Your mama papa don't know what the trouble is . ..
You see they don't know what it's all about.
Ah said your mama papa don't know what the trouble is baby they just can't see what it's all about.
Read the news read the newspapers baby?
You just get out there in the street and check it out!
Guitar solo
Ah said the motor city is burning people
I ain't hanging round to fight it out.
Ah said the motor city is burning people
Just not hang around to fight it out.
Well i'm taking my wife and my people and ???
Well just before i go baby ????
Firemans on the street people all around
Now i guess it's true
I'd just like to strike a match for freedom myself
I may be a white boy but i can be bad too.
Yes it's true now yes it's true now.
Guitars end

"let it all burn! let it all burn!"
