Street Justice

It happened in the broad daylight

So unexpected came the knife

A child's scream sliced through the air

But no one came or seemed to care, no

The man's description did little good

A local stranger from the neighborhood

Those little kids, oh, he left behind

With their mangled lives and their tortured minds

Since he didn't seem to care, then don't you think it's only fair

Call for street justice

Let no mercy show

Call for street justice

Don't let him go

The man was caught and brought before a judge

Who had just returned from a three drink lunch

His lawyer screamed "you must set him free"

And off he went on a technicality

Since the law don't seem to care, then don't you think it's only fair

Call for street justice

Why should parents cry?

Call for street justice

How many have to die?

Solo - Jay Jay

The mob assembled, smoke filled the air

And marched in anger to do what's fair

To bring to justice this souless thing

And show the others what evil brings

Now before you shake your head, think if it was your child instead

Call for street justice, tell me what you'd do

Call for street justice, pray this isn't true

Call for street justice, why should parents cry

Call for street justice, how many have to die

Call for street justice, when slime escapes the law

Call for street justice, we'll even up the score

Call for street justice, let no mercy show

Call for street justice, please don't let him go
