Big Smoke
Another morning in the city Another morning in the gritty, and so, and so Another young man got stabbed on the pavement Then another young man never made it to the station Tell his mother why she's waitin' Another morning in the city Another morning in the gritty, and so, and so Did you see the smoke comin' out of the flames here? Then they tried to take his story out the papers They'd be dead, but no more person locked away, yeah And so, and so it's... Still seein' all the blood in these lies, mud in these lies 6 o'clock news doesn't cover these crimes Cut corners and cut slice Cut the porridge with no chai No conviction and no distinction But too much wrong, there ain't much right And if we honestly look by It's feeling great in this blue sky And the rain hits harder today I see us gone from the front page to the ten page Back to where no one relates to the pain No one relates to the pain Does anyone ever remember the flame?

No electric and no light Hold tight now 'cause it's a cold night We're on the pipe now And if you don't like, they tell us pipe down, see I keep dreaming of better days, dreamin' of better ways When we can trust anyone with no worry, can just go away But for now I'm just sittin' on the chain, watchin' everybody's face Pointing to the floor for another day And can they even see the flames? And can they even see the flames? And can they even see the flames? Flames, so So, and so Another morning in the city Another morning in the gritty, and so, and so Another young man got stabbed on the pavement Then another young man never made it to the station Tell his mother why she's waitin' Another morning in the city Another morning in the gritty, and so, and so Did you see the smoke comin' out of the flames here?
