They burn down every tower
They burn it down
Down, down, down, down to the ground

It's a shame and disgrace
To see them men burning down the people there
Some blind, and can't see
Some dumb, and can't talk
Some cripple, can't walk

Don't want a man to be sorry
The policeman couldn't talk about it
Because they may not a ready

[Chorus]
Eventide fire are disaster

To see the poor people lose and burn in the fire

Burn it down, they burn it down
Shame and disgrace

Some have fi jump and cry out
Some have fi jump and say "May this wickedness"
Some crippled, some can't walk

Some blind, can't see
Some dumb, can't talk
