It's a hot summer night in the blackboard jungle
  Crime sits heavy on the city shoulder
  Can't get no work, I can't get a job
  I just sit and play my radio in the parking lot
    Well they're breaking down doors in foreign countries
  Everybody thinks somebody's hiding something
  There's talk on the street and the nation is worried
  But you can't talk back when you're dead, when you're dead and
  buried
    And Everybody's restless
  Everybody's scared
  Everybody's looking for something that just ain't there
  Everybody's restless
    Everybody's scared, they think we're all in danger
  Everyone's taking cover from someone else's anger
  The walls have ears, Big Brother's watching
  They tell us that we're poisoned from everything that we're
  touching
    Well we could be children from the way we're acting
  We feed ourselves lies and then we scream for action
  We just breed and we lose our nerve
  And there's bombs going off in every corner of the world
