[Verse 1: Pegz] They say life's not worth livin' in Burn City Work forty hours a week until you turn sixty Earn fifty grand a year, debt for eternity No sleep, no rest is a certainty We choose to adhere, persuin' careers Like border men on parades, the brute with sincere Losing our rights, using our fears Burn City, one day I'll be moving from here Goin' back to the cave, the embrionic stage Before the, black clouds and atomic rain Before the, black wave on Boxing Day Before the, man-made economic plague Burn City lost her way, she's not the same She forgot about the streets we populate So we compensate in a lot of ways And intoxicate ourselves to stop the pain [Hook: Pegz and Kye] Burn City, what happened to the passion we had? I know you like the back of my hand Burn City, I told you I'd be packing my bags If you ever turned your back on my fam Burn City, that's the sound of an angry crowd singing "Burn this bitch to the ground!"

We're like battery hens, mechanically driven And it's hard to explain like humanity's vision And who's to blame for the planet's condition?

I know you like the back of my hand Burn City, I told you I'd be packing my bags If you ever turned your back on my fam Burn City, that's the sound of an angry crowd singing "Burn this bitch to the ground!"
