Shut down, boom town, blown out downtown

Streets go prepare for war (inner city violence)

When the law come over, man they run for cover

Opportunity shut the door (inner city)

and the guns are blazing in the streets of Mogadishu

Baghdad back to Beirut (inner city violence)

I weigh my opinion on the death squad killin'

Every time I hear the firearms shoot (inner city)



No control, strict curfew now employed

Violence sustained

Civil liberties now destroyed

Constant intimidation brought on by force

Regenerated crime wave

Shaking things off course

A new stage is set

Atrocities rise

Oppressive systems human freedoms now divide

Masters of mankind using a vile speech

I can't see through the fog of the endless deceit



Shut down, boom town, blown out downtown

Streets go prepare for war (inner city violence)

When the law come over, man they run for cover

Opportunity shut the door (inner city)

and the guns are blazing in the streets of Mogadishu

Baghdad back to Beirut (inner city violence)

I weigh my opinion on the death squad killin'

Every time I hear the firearms shoot (inner city)



Street signs in Cyrillic taught me about our past

Hi-tech weapon systems, annihilate so fast

Fury and anger strife to disseminates

Peace eradicated warfare escalates

A constant careful eye on all the insanity

The defenseless are slaughtered with no culpability

Highly calculated deadly machines

Rain down upon helpless human beings



Inner city violence

Inner city [repeated]
