| [00:05.03] | There's blacks with knives and whites with clubs |
| [00:20.65] | Fighting in Howard Beach |
| [00:23.30] | There's no such thing as human rights |
| [00:25.50] | When you walk the N.Y.streets |
| [00:28.01] | A cop was shot in the head by a 10 years old kid |
| [00:30.02] | Named Buddah in Central Park last week |
| [00:32.29] | The fathers and daughters are lined up by the coffins |
| [00:34.99] | By the Statue of Bigotry, hey |
| [00:37.42] | You better hold on |
| [00:40.16] | Something's happening here |
| [00:41.86] | You better hold on |
| [00:44.21] | Well, I meet you in Tompkins Square |
| [00:46.10] | The dopers sent a message to the cops last weekend |
| [00:48.49] | They shot him in the car where he sat |
| [00:50.58] | And Eleanor Bumpers and Michael Stewart |
| [00:53.43] | Must have appreciated that |
| [00:55.97] | There's a rampaging rage rising up like a plague |
| [00:57.86] | Of bloody vials washing up on the beach |
| [00:59.76] | It'll take more than the Angels or Iron Mike Tyson |
| [01:02.81] | To heal this bloody breach, hey, hey |
| [01:04.95] | You better hold on |
| [01:06.24] | something's happening here |
| [01:09.24] | You better hold on |

| [01:13.73] | A junkie ran down a lady a pregnant dancer |
| [01:16.67] | she'll never dance but the baby was saved |
| [01:18.42] | He shot up some China White and nodded out at the wheel |
| [01:20.97] | and he doesn't remember a thing |
| [01:23.11] | They shot that old lady 'cause they thought she was a witness to |
| [01:25.71] | a crime she didn't even see |
| [01:27.50] | Whose home is the home of the brave |
| [01:30.04] | by the Statue of Bigotry, hey |
| [01:32.24] | You better hold on |
| [01:34.84] | something's happening here |
| [01:36.78] | You better hold on |

| [01:41.81] | You got a black .38 and a gravity knife |
| [01:44.55] | you still have to ride the train |
| [01:46.59] | There's the smelly essence of N.Y. down there |
| [01:49.29] | but you ain't no Bernard Goetz, ah |
| [01:51.23] | There's no Mafia lawyer to fight in your corner |
| [01:53.72] | for that 15 minutes of fame |
| [01:55.67] | The have and the have nots are bleeding in the tub |
| [01:58.56] | that's New York's future not mine, oh |
| [02:00.85] | You better hold on |
| [02:02.55] | something's happening here |
