Blame them, blame me, is just what they said The crossroad knights have fallen again The media said this rage won't end I know there's something wrong with the Kids in my old neighborhood Their parents were gone for way too long The heatskore youth thought the laws were wrong They've got makeshift arms, arms locked on you Save me, mischievous teens swing machetes No place for normalcy Save me, rambunctious tots lacking in (march out of) synchrony Olly olly oxen free, don't play in my playground The street lights still burn bright as day The schools were trashed without delay Old Joe's windows were used as doors Popeye's cigarettes burned the floors This time they can't be stopped no the kids in my old neighborhood
