Standing in the night and I don't know just somewhere
And I'm feeling cold inside about what I see
Give 'em all guns, there's nothing left for losers
Time is running out so secretly

This ain't no paradise
The nightmare's on its way
Insanity appears in their eyes

Streets on fire, ready or not
Will the good times return? No way
Streets on fire, ready or not
Will we ever learn? No way

Echoing sounds of thunder make me shiver
Battlefields turn to wasteland, no one wins
The ghost of terror creeping, through the cities
And someone says it is a holy war

This ain't no paradise
The nightmare's on its way
Insanity appears in their eyes

Streets on fire, ready or not
Will the good times return? No way
Streets on fire, ready or not
Will we ever learn? No way

Humans will always fight
It's the same shit everywhere
East or west, the same desires
Will always haunt the earth

Streets on fire, ready or not
Will the good times return? No way
Streets on fire, ready or not
Will we ever learn? No way

Streets on fire, ready or not
Will the good times return? No way
Streets on fire, streets on fire
Will we ever learn? No way
