People throwing dinars at the belly-dancers
In a sad circus by a trench of burning oil
C/GEm
People throw belongings a lifetime's earnings
Among the scattered rubbish and suitcases on the sidewalk
CEm D
Date palms and orange and tangerine trees
And eyes that are crying for everything
D G
Let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn.
Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire.

So I talked to an old man by the generator
He was standing on the gravel by the fetid river
CEm D
He turned to me and then surveyed the scene
Said, "War is here in our beloved city."
D G
Let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn.
Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire.
CEm D
Some dove in the river and tried to swim away
Through tons of sewage fate written on their foreheads
D G
Let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn.
Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire.

Let it burn, let it burn!
Let it burn, let it burn!
