Question on lyricsIn the Johanna reprise between Anthony, Sweeney, and the Beggar Woman, are the words "city on fire" or "set it on fire"? I could swear it was "city," but my sister looked up lyrics on the internet (which are occasionally wrong) and she insists it says "set it."

I am 90% certain that it is city.

It is, without question, "city on fire."

I am 100% sure it's city. I have published libretto and vocal score and that's what it says the lyric is.

also, this makes very little sense.

I agree.
Thanks everyone.

If that was the case, then later you'd have "Great black rain falling on the set it on fire!"
Which would make even less sense...
