[Verse 1]
It was in London
Where we heard the revolution
From Covent Garden
All the way down to Brixton
[Verse 2]
It was in Tottenham
Man got shot by a policeman
A young girl went to test them
Went up against the system
Oh, oh, oh, I don't know
[Bridge]
Who are you?
Who are you?
[Verse 3]
On the television
Of course they blame the youth for disruption
'Cause they took Fortnum & Mason
And nothing said about the shooting
Just the looting
[Chorus]
It was in London
It was in London
[Verse 4]
And it was thunder
Caught between love and anger
From Trafalgar
All the way up to Camden
[Chorus]
Can you believe this is London?
Can you believe this is London?
Can you believe this is London?
Can you believe this is London?
Can you believe this is London?
Can you believe this is London?
Can you believe this is London?
[Outro]
London town, London town
London town, London town
