It's a hot summer night
In the blackboard jungle
Crime sits heavy on the city shoulder
Can't get no work, I can't get a job
I just sit and play my radio
In the parking lot
Well they're breaking down doors
In foreign countries
Everybody thinks somebody's hiding something
There's talk on the street
And the nation is worried
But you can't talk back when you're dead,
When you're dead and buried
And Everybody's restless
Everybody's scared
Everybody's looking for something that just ain't there
Everybody's restless
Everybody's scared, they think we're all in danger
Everyone's taking cover from
Someone else's anger
The walls have ears, Big Brother's watching
They tell us that we're poisoned from everything that we're touching
Well we could be children from
The way we're acting
We feed ourselves lies and then we scream for action
We just breed and we lose our nerve
And there's bombs going off in every corner of the world
