This is the place from where I rose
While building thrive, the river flows
Cracks in the street, the concrete jungle
And the cats eat snow
Developments for you and me
Demolish ancient miseries
Preaching London's false affordability
Is this a calm city?
Til the goons come out tonight
Is this a calm city?
Where the wrong becomes the right
Cool and breezy, calm and easy
The geezer on the corner feeling nice and sleazy
Shotting off his packet nearly every time he sees me
Kids are out in batches getting stabs and slashes
Errors in the tower burn it down to ashes
Liberals and romantics living side by side with fascists
Is this a calm city?
Til the goons come out tonight
Is this a calm city?
Keep out of sight if you wanna stay calm tonight
Spoken: Next stop calm city
Tickets pleade, where's your ticket mate?
Hope you didn't jump the barrier there lad
This is calm city not terror town
All aboard!
Here we go!
Is this a calm city?
Where the goons come out at night
Is this a calm city?
Where the wrong becomes the right
Calm city
Is this a calm city?
Is this a calm city?
This is not a calm city
