Life has become a cheap joke/ A tool for a homeboy to improve his rep/ Knife plus a couple grams of coke/ A simple equation for the average man’s death/ Choke on the unmanning fear/ That makes it so hard to leave your house each day/ Smoked for a case of beer/ Everyone’s learning the American way
We all pay the price/ Our money and our lives/ Our pride and our dignity left by the wayside/ We all pay the price/ Our money and our lives/ Exercise the right to take a life
Why? Where’s our failing?/ So many fail to see the value of their fellow man/ Die, they’re already nailing/ The lid of your coffin ‘cause you tried to take a stand/ Bail, get away from the sharks/ The circle’s getting smaller and it’s soon too late for flight/ Flail at the shapes in the dark/ You know you can’t escape the terrors of the night
Shopkeeper turns at the sound of his door/ Three kids having fun and he’s bleeding on the floor/ Cabdriver turns for the money he’s owed/ Gets a blade in the throat, left to die in the road/ A girl gets off the bus on the way home from class/ She’s viciously raped and left to weep on the grass/ Used to think we’re different, but now I know/ We’re all just fresh bodies for the horrorshow
