Crackdown - Steve Stevens

There’s a fire burnin' yeah

It’s a dead zone burnin'

And how many times will you watch all the signs

'Til the crime that you’re blind to is on you

On the killing floor there’s an an all war

They run the night just for the warm

The world they know has just been torn a limb from limb

There’s a headless body in the everglades

You want a piece of New York, well give you New York

Fifty bucks an hour at the top of the stairs

On the killing floor, there’s an all out war

You’ll be lucky to get out alive

With a trigger man in a victim land, better run boy, when it’s a …

When it’s a Crackdown, you better say your prayers tonight

It’s a downtown meltdown

In this part of the city where they burn all night

Crackdown, you better run for all your life

Don’t let a lifetime pass you by

Don’t let a lifetime pass you by
