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
No!
The man's description
Did little good
A local stranger
From the neighborhood
Those little kids
Ohh, he left behind
With their mangled lives
And their tortured minds
Since he didn't seem to care
Then 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
Then 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?

The mob assembled
Smoke filled the air
And marched in anger
To do what's fair
To bring to justice
This souless 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 slime 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
Get him, get him, get him
