Oh the motor city s burnin

It ain t no thing in the world

That I can do

Don t ya know

Don t ya know the big D is burnin

Ain t no thing in the world

That Johnny can do

My home town burnin down to the ground

Worster than Viet Nam

Well it started on 12th and

Clairmont this mornin

I just don t know what it s all about

Well it started on 12th and

Clairmont this mornin

I don t know what it s all about

The fire wagon kept comin

The snipers just wouldn t let em put it out

Fire bomb bustin all around me

An soldiers was ev rywhere

Well fire bomb fallin all around me

And soldiers standin ev

I could hear the people screaming

Sirens fill the air

I don t know what the trouble is

I can t stay around to find it out

I don t know I don t know

What the trouble is this monin

I just can t stay around to find it out

Takin my wife an my family

And little Johnny Lee is clearin out

The motor city s burnin

Ain t a thing that I can do

Well the motor city s burnin

Ain t a thing that I can do

I just hope people

It ll never happen to you

Yes yes I could hear the fireman

Said look get outta here
