Slaves in seas of soot we drown
Come on down to London town
The cogs they creak and the pistons pound
Come on down to London town
Power cloaked in progress
Smoke in Eden’s eyes
A million choking chimneys burn and
Blacken out the sky
Grab your mates and join us
Where the rats rejoice
The brazen brass of the working class
Are here to find their voice
Revolution holds us bound
Come on down to London town
Break your back for class and crown
Come on down to London town
Steam train running on a reckless rail
Speeding right into the rising gale
Shovel harder cos we’re on your tail
London’s bloody cry
Crippled to deliver
The spoils of industry
Crimson are the rivers
Bleed our grief into the sea
Slaves in seas of soot we drown
Come on down to London town
The cogs they creak and the pistons pound
Come on down to London town
Steam train running on a reckless rail
Speeding right into the rising gale
Shovel harder cos we’re on your tail
London’s bloody cry
Cry revolution, broken dreams
Cruel revolution smoke and steam
