Gridlok feat. Dom & Roland - London's Burning lyrics

It was flashes of lights and a large bang
Smoke immediately billowed into the carriage, it filled it
People started to scream because there was a burning smell
And everyone, to cut a long story short, thought they were going to die

Or must have known, that these things were going on?
It's just almost negligent
- And what did you see of the medical operation that's unfolding down there?
- There was none at first, because everyone said it was a technical failure
And it wasn't, you know?
There was just mass communication failure
