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 the 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, don´t be pulled in.

don´t make the same mistake again,

there´s just no way to even up this score.

chorus

bridge:

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 walls are bigger than life,

seems like they´ll never get enough.

chorus
