Dayinthelife - Street Justice Lyrics

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

OHH, 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?



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

GET HIM, GET HIM, GET HIM
