FUNERAL PYRE BY THE JAM
VERSE
DoDwn in amongst the streets tonight, books will burn,
people laugh and cry in their tuAmrmoil
Turmoil turns rejoiceful
SheDd your fears and lose your guilt,
tonight we burn responsibility in the Amfire
We ll watch the flames grow higher.
CHORUS
GAnd as I was standing by the edge,
I could see the faces of those who left
 pissing theAmmselves laughing
and the flames grew higher
GTheir mad eyes bulged, their flushed faces said
The weaCk get crushed and the sFtrong grow stronger.

FUNERAL PYRE BY THE JAM

VERSE

Down in amongst the streets tonight, books will burn,

people laugh and cry in their turmoil

Turmoil turns rejoiceful

Shed your fears and lose your guilt,

tonight we burn responsibility in the fire

We ll watch the flames grow higher.

CHORUS

And as I was standing by the edge,

I could see the faces of those who left

pissing themselves laughing

and the flames grew higher

Their mad eyes bulged, their flushed faces said

C F

The weak get crushed and the strong grow stronger.
