 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

James Keir sent an invitation to commemorate the French Revolution 
And when some came, some others protested 
A riot broke out, and Birmingham was tested
Joseph Priestley's house burnt down 
He gathered his family and escaped the town
Sam Galton Jr saved his house 
With alcohol to bribe the crowd
As the riot destroyed the city 
The law stood by in a small committee 
Did nothing, helped no-one, watched it burn

Birmingham was mortally divided
Some industrialists finally decided 
To leave the city and all that it provided and never return

So the mob was searching for 
Those who had tried to change the law 
To remove the Church from the State like the French had done
For what role should religion play 
In deciding whose laws we should obey? 
And why should your faith decide you place in society? 

Birmingham was mortally divided
Some industrialists finally decided 
To leave the city and all that it provided and never return

Birmingham was mortally divided
Some industrialists finally decided 
To leave the city and all that it provided and never return
