Lyrics:

STREETS ON FIRE
Spotlight flash through a flat on the west side
A boy is smiling with a rock in his hand
White man black man shoulder to arm and the parade
Is erased with a prize full of anger
Streets on fire
Hot in the moonlight a single ember the caress of a flame
Lights out rights out nobody wins Again and again and again when it should die
We form our chains
Packed in stacked in racks on the curbside
A million birdies who were caught in a cage
Fear so near so what does it feel like
Streets on fire
Hot in the moonlight this boy's a pistol he's one of a kind
Mom's so proud Dad's so crazy
What's yours is yours but it's mine it's all mine now
We form our chains
So near so d?ar so clear no nothing to fear no
No in no out no reason to shout not
H?re no nothing this nothing that
No time no sign no line we live on a dime
Lights out give it up yeah

I noted you watching and you noted their need
I noted your constant companion was greed
I noted you standing In President's Square
All right packed in stacked in racks on the curbside
A million birdies who were caught in a cage
Fear so near so what does it feel like
Streets on fire
Hot in the moonlight a single ember the caress of a flame
Lights out rights out nobody wins
Again, and again and again when it should die

We form our chains
