Downtown to the courthouse For some pass-the-buck justice It's a knock-down, drag 'em out, beat 'em up, mace the crowd Strip search, busted Can't control the fire Coming through barbed wire It's a junkyard, live hard, bear the scars of broke and charred Sellers and buyers So when all is said and done Watch out, 'cause here they come Shadows of the night
It's the last of the old ways It's the wave of the new age Computerized, digitized, money markets, mechanized Internet highway Infected by the needy Neglected by the greedy Chaos, blood loss, nickel bagging debutants Looking for a freebie
We got radio silence Another act of violence Backstage, spray paint, security in rollerskates Beating on a new dance Going down on a choker Stun gun smoker Open range, who's game, shoot until the scream of pain Never getting older
