The Streets of Chaos

Kids are swearing Strangers staring Mothers are yelling Nightwalkers selling In the streets of chaos Thieves are stealing Drug dealers, dealing Bums are pleading Victims bleeding In the streets of chaos Perverts are raping Convicts escaping Policemen are beating Con artist cheating In the streets of chaos Butchers are carving Children starving Pigs are looting Gangsters shooting In the streets of chaos Players are using Drunkards abusing People are killing Blood spilling In the streets of chaos The diseased are infecting Fathers, neglecting The city is crying 'Cause people are dying In the streets of chaos
