Em            D
Heavy is the hand
          Am              D
Pressing down again and again
            Em                    D
Somethings free, somethings get chains
        Am                  D
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

Chorus:
Em G          B7
Hey, London's burning
C                                  Em G
And it doesn't matter how hard we try
               B7
Hey, London's burning
C                                  Em        G
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
Til 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

Chorus

Good morning
I've come straight from a meeting of
the government's COBRA committee
This is criminality, pure and simple
and it has to be defeated

The streets are burning up from end to end
(Err, yeah, this is payback isn't it? Payback man)
Climb each other and we'll fall again
(This is criminality, pure and simple
and it has to be defeated)
The streets are burning up from end to end
(Err, yeah, this is payback isn't it? Payback man)
End to end

Chorus

Everything is nothing, everything is nothing
