Bullets in the Street and Blood

Woo-hoo, do it for the bay-bay (Do it for the baby)
Woo-hoo, do it for the bay-bay (Do it for the baby)
Woo-hoo, do it for the bay-bay
Woo-hoo, do it for the bay-bay

Saturday morning, eleven o'clock services
We, we've seen it all too many times before
A mother brokenhearted, a father, head is hanging
With children too young to know the score
(Too young to know)

That love is losing meaning here
That this house is really cheating them
That an ignorance is breeding them
To trust the hurt and pain that's leading them to

To the bullets in the streets and blood
(This is oh so unnecessary)
Bullets in the streets and blood
(All the pain I see and feel around me)
Bullets in the streets and blood
It's gonna break us all down
Gonna break us all down
(This is oh so unnecessary)
Gonna break us all down
Gonna break us down
Bullets in the streets and blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, yeah

The body count is calling, the alarm is ringing
But few hear the sounds above the beats
Legislator counting on the radio street team
To keep the poor ones too blind to see
(Too blind to see)

That love is losing meaning here
That this house is really cheating them
That an ignorance is breeding them
To trust the hurt and pain that's leading them to

To the bullets in the streets and blood, yeah
Bullets in the streets and blood
(This is oh so unnecessary)
Bullets in the streets and blood
(All the pain I see and feel around me)
Bullets in the streets and blood
It's gonna break us all down
Gonna break us all down
Gonna break us all down
Gonna break us down

Ain't bearin' fruit, cast away
Ain't bearin' fruit, cast away
Ain't bearin' fruit, it ain't bearin' fruit
Cast away (Cast away), cast away (Cast away)
Up, up, and away we go
Up, up, and away we go
