[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus]

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
