young boy is killed by a gun toting driver |
|
he caught him cuase the kid went too far |
|
when the mad was asked why |
|
he replied with conviction |
|
i caught the young punk throwing stones at my car |
|
stones at my car |
|
uncle sam's on the billboard |
|
stars and stripes shining |
|
as i drive by he's a message for me |
|
the sign reads the constant preparation for war |
|
this is the preservation of peace |
|
there's a war in our streets |
|
there's a war in our streets |
|
and we're loading our minds |
|
with the word self-defence |
|
take someone's life for |
|
crossing over our fence |
|
there's a war in our streets |
|
there's a war in our streets |
|
and we're loading our minds |
|
with the word self-defence |
|
take someone's life for crossing over our fence |
|
that's the freedom |
|
tricks on his door sent an old man's heart racing |
|
tricks on his mind broke his patience in two |
|
he answered the door with the crack of a rifle |
|
paper boy dies delivering the news |
|
he becomes the news |
|
fold heroes and murders |
|
they're condoned and condemned |
|
they're crucified and idolized |
|
for taking their stand |
|
is this how we live? |
|
all good people on guard |
|
defending our rights |
|
in the home and native land |
|
there's a war in our streets |
|
there's a war in our streets |
|
and we're loading our minds |
|
with the word self-defence |
|
take someone's life |
|
for crossing over our fence |
|
there's a war in our streets |
|
there's a war in our streets |
|
and we're loading our minds |
|
with the word self-defence |
|
take someone's life for crossing over your fence |
|
that's the freedom |
