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
