| 作词 : Smith | |
| Ya know, the Motor City is burning babe, | |
| there ain't a thing in the world that 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 and Clairmount that morning. | |
| It made the beat cops all jump and shout, | |
| Ah said, it started on 12th and Clairmount that morning, | |
| It made the pigs in the street 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. | |
| Guitar solo "get it on ... " | |
| Well, there were fire bombs bursting all around, people, Ya know there were soldiers standing everywhere. | |
| I said there was fire bombs bursting all around me, baby, Ya know there was National Guard everywhere. | |
| Ah can hear my people screaming. | |
| Sirens fill the air, fill the air, fill the air. | |
| Guitar solo | |
| Your mama papa don't know what the trouble is | |
| you see, they don't know what it's all about. | |
| Ah said, your mama papa don't know what the trouble is, baby, | |
| they just can't see what it's all about. | |
| Read the news, read the newspapers, baby? | |
| You just get out there in the street and check it out! | |
| Guitar solo | |
| Ah said, the Motor City is burning, people, | |
| I ain't hanging round to fight it out. | |
| Ah 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 ??? | |
| Well, just before I go, baby, ???? , | |
| firemans 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. | |
| Guitars, end | |
| "Let it all burn! Let it all burn!" |
