Smoke hangs in the air to the east of the river And the truncheons are primed and keen to deliver A reaction to glass smashed and fire on the wheels They're coming back with steel When you nip at their heels they wanna come on strong Nothing to do but to keep battlin' on and on and on So come on down and get in the mix We get our kicks with bottles and bricks When we walk together it feels alright Meet me in the street Seven blocks north of the avenue We're throwing rocks at the boys in blue Sliver spoon suckers headed for a fall And justice for all They got the skeleton key to every door Can't they help but to keep on taking more and more and more? The lie is the law and no friend is the hand That points and commands In a bad way and out in the rough We're in the city just to tell them enough's enough's enough
