"The Mercy Killings" lyrics

The people shouted: "No justice
And no peace"
It's gettin' pretty wicked and wild
In the streets
We're frightened of the gunshots
In the park
Praying that our kids come home
Before dark

Screaming sirens cuss the air
They're killing our kids
And they don't care
It makes you wanna
Hang your head and cry
It makes you feel powerless inside

Took that TEC-9
To the head
It was a mercy kill
And there were five found dead

Violence nine to five
I can't really say that it's
Great to be alive
I'm talkin' 'bout the bloodshed
Overflow
It's movin' too fast for the folks below

When reality rears its head
Hope is lost as tears are shed
We fall prey to violent crimes
Been sittin' ducks for all our lives

Took that TEC-9
To the head
It was a mercy kill
And there were five found dead

Screaming sirens cuss the air
They're killing our kids
And they don't care
It makes you wanna
Hang your head and cry
It makes you feel powerless inside

Took that TEC-9
To the head
It was a mercy kill
And there were five found dead

Took that TEC-9
To the head
It was a mercy kill
And there were five found dead
