Brooklyn Is Burning Lyrics by Head Automatica

Decadence

2004

You strangle people with a piercing stare
I can't believe I made it
The way you operate is so severe, so severe
I hate it

You strangle people with a sneering grin
I can't believe I made it
Brooklyn is burning down the discotheque, discotheque
Let's shake it

I feel the fire tonight
I hear, I hear the people cry
I see all the people now
I got, I got what the people want

You send a message in the atmosphere and everyone starts running
The way you operate is so severe, so severe
So cunning

You send a message in your beady stare and everyone starts running
Brooklyn is burning and by fireside, by fireside, we're dancing

I feel the fire tonight
I hear, I hear the people cry
I see all the people now
I got, I got what the people want

You strangle people with a piercing stare
I can't believe I made it
The way you operate is so severe, so severe
I hate it

You strangle people with a sneering grin
I can't believe I made it
Brooklyn is burning down the discotheque, discotheque
Let's shake it

I feel the fire tonight
I hear, I hear the people cry
I see all the people now
I got, I got what the people want

I feel the fire tonight
I hear, I hear the people cry
I see all the people now
I got, I got what the people want
