In and out - the streets are breathing

Chaos disorder looting and loiter from a blind man praying for some sign (for some sign) Take your loot on the move,at the boot on the crew My best intentions always ended in a fight (in a fight) You can send me to hell expose me I'll tell Just take control and say what they're doing (what they're doing) Two-fifty dead the tribune read Oakland's going off like a bomb!

Armageddon is coming so yeah you better start running Cause the big wave is coming to the shore (to the shore) No surprise that you see thru the lies of a system rotten to the core (to the core) High tech surveilence paranoia and violence Keeping the city at a calm (at a calm) Two-fifty dead the tribune read Oakland's going off like a bomb!

Man it just don't seem right you see Every time I turn I around it's just the same story and it's like It just don't seem right And I wonder is it gonna end? Hit it! Knocking down the doors slogans on the walls One said fight back yea the system will fall The police came out with tear gas and flames Chaos in the city beating them at the game Don't pay the poll tax the headlines read Thirty cops beaten another one dead The fight lasted on through the Brixton night a thousand angry looters who knew they were right
