I heard a shot last night
It woke me up from my sleep
There's no such thing as friendly fire
Oh, Mama, don't turn on the lights
Oh, Papa, get away from the window
You never know which way the angel's comin' in
Chorus:
And the water's gonna roll, roll up the dirty streets
And the wind's gonna blow out the lights
Rock this world to sleep
I don't wanna be left behind
And get caught between the lines drawn across this town
Runnin' out of neutral ground
Somebody's waitin' for my brother
To them he's just another number
To me he never did no wrong
My sister won't be pulled in
Don't make the same mistake again
There's just no way to even up this score
Chorus
I can't be no judge, I can't be no jury
I don't even know what's right or wrong
I stand between the walls
These forces are bigger than life
Seems like they'll never get enough
