You can't change the world
You can't change your mind
You're not allowed to have an opinion
The children play with their guns on the street
In the fields where there used to be a playground.
Tommy's out
And he never rang home
Got into a fight with the Chapel Town gangsters
Lay there bleeding with his hands in the air
Stabbed to death for his taxi fare
Oh yes this story's true
And there's nothing that they can do
To help the lost and merciless criminal youth
Oh yes this story's true
And there's nothing that they can do
Our future hopes and dreams are fighting battles for the truth
Urban Warfare
Inner-city Murder
Walking through the city
Walking through the streets
Welcome to a village of violence
How will we solve all the troublesome pasts
By dispersing all gangs from the corners?
We don't need a bill
We don't need curfews
It's not as if we need more police on the streets
It just takes time
They just need a voice
But problems won't be solved unless you have a choice
Oh yes this story's true
And there's nothing that they can do
To help the lost and merciless criminal youth
Oh yes this story's true
And there's nothing that they can do
Our future hopes and dreams are fighting battles for the truth
