Laws of the Street Lyrics
In these times a seed's been sown
High-handedness each to one's own
Right-wing thugs roam the streets
Child molesters lure with sweets
If you're weak and it shows
You'll go down, no remorse
No love left, only terror
They'll exploit any error
Baseheads looking for new kicks
Junkies out for their next fix
Rival dealers, it's an endless fight
Gunshots and sirens in the night
If they meet with offense
One solution: violence
Careless mouth, flick-knife flash
Stabbing backs just for cash
These are the laws, the laws of the street
Written in blood on the concrete
Not enacted by judges of any state
But originated throughout mass hate
These are the laws, the laws of the street

Written in blood on the concrete
Not official in any state but arisen
Just from blind hate
Politicians stir up violence
Preaching hatred instead of silence
Own advantage our main concern
When will mankind ever learn?
Equal chances, what a joke
When most people end up broke
"Take, don't give" is our way
Doing only what will pay
Blood spilt, people killed
Ignorance, violence
It's time to wake and to shake
Off that tie or many more will die
These are the laws, the laws of the street
Written in blood on the concrete
Not enacted by judges of any state
But originated throughout mass hate
These are the laws, the laws of the street
Written in blood on the concrete
Not official in any state but arisen
Just from blind hate
