It Was London

  • It was in London
    Where we heard the revolution
    From Covent Garden
    All the way down to Brixton

    It was in Tottenham
    Man got shot by a policeman
    A young girl went to test them
    Went up against the system
    Oh oh, I don't know

    Who are you
    Who are you

    On the television
    Of course they blame the youth for disruption
    'Cause they took Fortnum & Mason
    And nothing said about the shooting
    Just the looting

    It was in London
    It was in London

    And it was thunder
    Caught between love and anger
    From Trafalgar
    All the way up to Camden

    Can you believe this is London?
    Can you believe this is London?
    Can you believe this is London?
    Can you believe this is London?
    Can you believe this is London?
    Can you believe this is London?
    Can you believe this is London?
