Down By Law

Urban Napalm

Down By Law


I think it began back in 1992 - flames and riots and my innocence was through 
the flames got put out but the hatred stayed so strong 
burning up the streets like an urban napalm 
white boy white boy - why you gotta act so proud? 
black black boy - why you gotta talk so loud? 
whit boy white boy - so afraid you buy a gun 
black boy black boy - so busy hating everyone 
nothing comes free/ nothing comes free 
and this town ain't half of what it used to be 
nothing comes free/ nothing comes free 
do you hear the sound of world burning down? 
I don't like fear and I don't like feeling danger 
now I'm driving through this ghost town like a sad lone ranger 
amid the ruins of all these urban sights and sounds 
seeing those places sometimes it still brings me down 
white boy white boy - you're so busy building fences 
black boy black boy - when you gonna come to your senses 
white boy white boy - anger shouldn't be your new song 
black boy black boy - if you hate because of color, you've got it all wrong 
that's when I said well, nothing comes free
