It happened in the broad daylight
So unexpected came the knife
A child's scream sliced through the air
But no one came or seemed to care
The man's description did little good
A local stranger from the neighborhood
Those little kids, oh, he left behind
With their mangled lives and their tortured minds
Since he didn't seem to care
Man, don't you think it's only fair?
Call for street justice
Let no mercy show
Call for street justice
Don't let him go
The 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
Since the law don't seem to care
Man, don't you think it's only fair?
Call for street justice
Why should parents cry?
Call for street justice
How many have to die?
ย
The mob assembled, smoke filled the air
And marched in anger to do what's fair
To bring to justice this soulless thing
And show the others what evil brings
Now before you shake your head
Think, if it was your child instead
Call for street justice
Tell me what you'd do
Call for street justice
Pray this isn't true
Call for street justice
Why should parents cry?
Call for street justice
How many have to die?
Call for street justice
When crime escapes the law
Call for street justice
We'll even up the score
Call for street justice
Let no mercy show
Call for street justice
Don't let him go
