blood on the bricks

Lyrics

the word is out; there's gonna be a gang fight, everybody knows that someone's goin' down, the night is hot; the moon is like a spotlight, so many screams; i swear i never heard a sound, not a sound, you hear the sirens sing all night long, to live in the jungle, boy, you gotta be strong, sometimes you gotta fight, there's the cut of the knife, so roll the dice on your life, and pray the night don't bite you, see the switchblade dance, a brother go down, there's a new breed comin', gonna rock this town, you better run for your life, 'cause if you're standin' up, we'll fight you, well it's a war zone, baby, and i need a friend, even the rats are out of town by ten, you better keep your ass behind locked doors, while the cops treat all this like a civil war, so here they come to fight, you better watch your back tonight, i got them in my sights, rumble!, well you're all invited to a switchblade dance, you're quick on your feet; it might be your last chance, and if i hit you once, you're gonna kiss the ground, 'cause there's a new kid comin', gonna take this crown, you better run for your life, 'cause if you're standin' up, we'll fight you, can you hear the sound. of an ambulance going downtown?, nobody's safe tonight!, i see the names there written all along the wall in, don't have to buy the paper, you can read it all in, you know that just last night, i lost another friend, one of these nights, it's gonna have to end, but 'till then. rumble!
