LYRICS
What’s all the fuss
What’s all the rush
Must be something dire
Accident or fire
Sound the alarm
Fear and harm
Fire engine siren
Babies dyin’
Always too late
To hesitate
{rest}
Release of police
Belly of the beast
Oppressing the least
Watch the beast feast
Sound the alarm
Fear and harm
Fire engine siren
Babies dyin’
Always too late
To hesitate
{rest}
All the lights and noise
Killing all the joys
Shutting down the street
Stepping on the beat
Sound the alarm
Fear and harm
Fire engine siren
Babies dyin’
Always too late
To hesitate
{rest}
