Street War |
| Eyes ablaze with virtue, they raise the sword of state |
| But still I see no compromise, it’s our heart upon the slate |
| We’re driven to the ledges, just one step to the wire |
| We’re under siege, it’s face to face, one spark can start a fire |
| Street war, they’re burning in the ghetto |
| Street war, there’s writing on the wall |
| Street war, you can’t paint over anger |
| Street war, the rock’s about to fall |
| You can dial up a murder (you're watchin' 911) |
| Or you can tune into a psychic force, the mystery has just begun |
| And if you wanna see the kids at school, you’d better take a gun |
| There’ll be a curfew in the dead of night until we see the risin' sun |
| Crazy-eyed fanatics, militia man invades |
| Inspired by insanity to storm the barricades |
| Where diamonds buy election, the soul of freedom bleeds |
| For the martyr and the madman, it’s the flame on which it feeds |
| Street war, we’re blinded by ambition |
| Street war, we turn the other cheek |
| Street war, the guilty stand convicted |
| Street war, by every word they speak |
| Street war, we’re blinded by ambition |
| Street war, we turn the other cheek |
| Street war, the guilty stand convicted |
| Street war, by every word they speak |
| Street war, it’s trial by oppression |
| Street war, we’re strung out on a plate |
| Street war, for every dream you vaporize |
| Street war, you sow the seeds of hate |
