Rip up the city
Burn it all down now
Cos we ain't goin' no place
We got nowhere to run

The city's full of poison
The city's full of hate
The city's full of false promises
Let's open up the prison gates

Rip up the city
Burn it all down now
'Cos we ain't goin' no place
We got nowhere to run

An you can keep your inner city schemes
And your centres of culture
You got us livin' in a concrete nightmare
You've given us no future

Rip up the city
Burn it all down now
Death to suburbia
An' to the uptown

Rip up the city
Burn it all down now
'Cos we ain't goin' no place
We got nowhere to run
An' you can keep your shoppin' centres
Who the hell were they built for
An' you can stick your brave new world
'Cos bricks and gasoline'll come knockin' on your door

Mid. 8: We don't want no police harrassement
The kids want the schools to shut down
An' we don't wanna pay no taxes
We just want a little rock'n'roll fun (hey hey)

Rip up the city
Burn it all down now
Death to suburbia
An' to the uptown
Rip up the city
Rip up the city
Rip up the city
Rip up the city, an' burn it all down
