Ghettocide
Lyrics
In the land of the vacant lots
Sirens wail, hear the final shots
And before the body hits the ground
The killer’s gone never to be found
Only the dead left to testify
Silent witness all the cops could find
They finally came to take the body away
Another victim and they call that living ghetto-side
Survey the scene
This is what you’ll find
This urban apocalypse was built here by design
Detained and held
Forever left behind
Another world
You will find no justice here for you
Beneath the sun where the pavement cracks
The truth recedes so forget the facts
No cameras coming to the murder scene
They’re-all off shooting someone else’s dream
Cops still scrambling in the burning sun
Just crunching numbers til the day is done
You’ll be waiting for a long long time
Just the way things work when you’re living ghetto-side
Survey the scene
This is what you’ll find
This urban apocalypse was built here by design
Detained and held
Forever left behind
Another world
You will find no justice here for you
Another cold case that will not be solved
I guess it pays not to get involved
Plainclothes man walks a thin blue line
And everybody else is doing time
But one day soon as the killer walks
Another gunman right behind him stalks
Pull the trigger and away he goes
Another dead, you call that living?
Ghettocide
This is what you’ll find
Your urban apocalypse was built here by design
Detained and held
Forever left behind
Another world
You will find no justice here for you
Sirens wail, hear the final shots
And before the body hits the ground
The killer’s gone never to be found
Only the dead left to testify
Silent witness all the cops could find
They finally came to take the body away
Another victim and they call that living ghetto-side
Survey the scene
This is what you’ll find
This urban apocalypse was built here by design
Detained and held
Forever left behind
Another world
You will find no justice here for you
Beneath the sun where the pavement cracks
The truth recedes so forget the facts
No cameras coming to the murder scene
They’re-all off shooting someone else’s dream
Cops still scrambling in the burning sun
Just crunching numbers til the day is done
You’ll be waiting for a long long time
Just the way things work when you’re living ghetto-side
Survey the scene
This is what you’ll find
This urban apocalypse was built here by design
Detained and held
Forever left behind
Another world
You will find no justice here for you
Another cold case that will not be solved
I guess it pays not to get involved
Plainclothes man walks a thin blue line
And everybody else is doing time
But one day soon as the killer walks
Another gunman right behind him stalks
Pull the trigger and away he goes
Another dead, you call that living?
Ghettocide
This is what you’ll find
Your urban apocalypse was built here by design
Detained and held
Forever left behind
Another world
You will find no justice here for you
