This insatiable city sways
The living quiver and blocks quake
As the souls sunk into the stones rise in rage
The urban decayed- The murder a day
In whose lost names came the loss of liberty
So alive again to haunt these stricken streets they scream:
We'll tell you just what did us in...
We'll tell you what the real crime is...
Real crime is half below the poverty line
Real crime is abuse of authority sanctified
This is a state of emergency alright
In the destitute desperation abounds
We hit the bottom long before we hit the ground
Lacking opportunity, forced into a drug economy
Caught in a circle of criminality on the outskirts of society
Trying to survive and failing
Those who blame rather than alleviate dig the graves
No one will rest in peace in a police state
Real crime
