the city streets are burning
theres murder in your town
the boys in blue are after you and me
another on goes down, buts thats alright

another car goes up in flames
the riot act is read
another night, another fight
another body dead but thats alright

no one ever listens and no one take the blame
everybody soon forgets, the hate remains the same

another night is over
a bright new day begins
and everybody soon forgets
another no one wins
but thats alright
