Ya know the Motor City is burning babe

There ain't a thing in the world 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 Clair Mount that morning

It made the the pig cops all jump and shout

I said it started on 12th Clair Mount that morning

It made the the pigs in the street go 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

Get it on Well there were fire bombs

bursting all around the people

Ya know there was soldiers standing everywhere

I said there was fire bombs bursting all around me baby

Ya know there was National Guard everywhere

I can hear my people screaming

Sirens fill the air fill the air fill the air

Your mama papa don't know what the trouble is

You see they don't know what it's all about

I said your mama papa don't know what the trouble is baby

They just can't see what it's all about

I get the news read the newspapers baby baby

You just get out there in the street and check it out

I said the Motor City is burning people

I ain't hanging 'round to fight it out

I 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 they're on TV

Well just before I go baby

Fireman's 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

Yes

Let it all burn let it all burn let it all burn
