Midnight another day in the life of a loser 
Spotlight moon shining over head 
This part of the city sleeps with one eye open
Bars on the door protection by the bed 
There's a child with a gun tired and on the run
Black brown blue what does it matter? 
And there's 15 more down on every corner 
Stranded no place left to turn 
Fire in the kitchen 
Fire in the kitchen burning down 
Fire in the kitchen fire 
Lord send us some cool cool water or 
Ain't nobody gonna get no sleep tonight 

Cold day another cold cold day in hell 
What you sow so shall ye reap 
Bedlam spreading like a rumor 
Can't take people and push them out in the street
Fire in the kitchen 
Fire in the kitchen burning down 
Fire in the kitchen fire 
Lord send us some cool cool water or 
Ain't nobody gonna get no sleep tonight 
There's a child with a gun tired and on the run
Black brown blue what does it matter? 
And there's 15 more down on every corner 
Stranded no place left to turn
