We Started the Fire - Gama Bomb

Urchin from the gutter, in this town you’ll go far

From tender age you’ve built the rage, who cares who you are?

We’ll gather up the children, put Walkmen in their ears

Singing soon a different tune, we’ll give you purpose down here

We’re plying them with Pepsi cola, Gameboy on demand

Training hard and wearing masks, they’ll get radical on our command

Soon they’re stealing TVs, automatic VCRs

Wearing Jordans, striking out, a ninja school is what we are

Don’t make me tell you twice

Play the deadly game

A word to the unwise

It’ll all go down in flames

We started the fire that burned this city down

We started the fire that stopped the world from spinning 'round

We control the subway system, our clothes are black

Mr. Big rewards the kids, they’re drinking Tab and snorting crack

It’s written in the pogs you know, the end is drawing nigh

Mark the ruins Zero Year for nineteen eighty-nine

Roughing up commuters, the gutter is our bed

There’s a flaming arrow pointing to here and now, it’s in our head

Danger in our mission, so you better bring a rope

You may have to scale a building, or have somebody by the throat

Gutter snipe- rule the streets, Savage

Digs- under siege, Hitting hard- killer

Teens, and now we’re, Arsonists-

Stealing cars- Murderers- burning bars

Perjurers- sexual
