The words cry out they've been acquitted
The final message it's now understood
A quiet has taken over the neighborhood

Now its starts the tearing apart
People's anger on a rampage
Thoughtless actions just with the cause
Violence has taken over the neighborhood
The neighborhood

Sun goes down over the town
It moves now to another level
Gas cans pour hatred it soars
A spark has taken over the neighborhood

Flames burn bright burn holes in the night
People's dreams turned to ashes
The tears they cry as they ask themselves why
Fire's taken over the neighborhood
The neighborhood

Now we're left to sort it all out
And It's more than blood on the pavement
It's not the broken glass or the buildings that crashed
I'ts a conditioned state born
In the neighborhood
