Street Justice

It happened
In the broad daylight
So unexpected came the night
A child's scream
Sliced through the air
But no one came
Or seemed to care

Why won't you do what's fair?
Call for street justice
Let no mercy show
Call for street justice
Don't you let him go
Call for street justice

The man's description
Did little good
A local stranger
From the neighborhood
All the little kids
He left behind
With their mangled lives
And their tortured minds

Since the law don't seem to care
Call for street justice
Why don't you do what's fair?
Call for street justice
How many have to die?
Call for street justice

A man was caught
And brought before a judge
Who had just returned
From a three drink lunch
His lawyer screamed, "You must set him free"
And off he went
On a technicality

Before you shake your head
Call for street justice
Long, long time to sin
Call for street justice
Tell me what do to
Call for street justice
Pray this isn't true
Call for street justice
Watch your parents cry
Call for street justice
How many have to die?
Call for street justice
Call for street justice
