Gangland

In the heart of a city, in the dark of the night
The youth is uniting, it's a work of sight
Two hundred different gangs from all over the town
Joining forces to lay low down

It all started off just a week ago
All the top gangs got a message to go slow
And a meeting in the park, Friday late after dark
No gangs to be copped or they would be black

The man at the centre of the park that night
He was talking sense, he got the youths to unite
Gangs from near and far now entered the meeting
They all got the Malcolm Welby greeting

They want to be anti-heroes
They want to be anti-heroes
They want to be anti-heroes
They want to be anti-heroes

As the shots rang out in the throng that night
The man at the centre, he lost his life
The bullet hit his head, blood began to drain
The leader was dead, the bullets smashed his brain

There was panic, there was chaos as the man hit the ground
His shirt was still wet, he was a piercing sound
An arm burst a shot as a youth dashed out
He'd pointed his finger, this youth was a liar

The warriors, they were on the run
They were running from something they had not done
But they were a fighting force unite
With their fists and their brains, they would live through the night

They were running down the backstreets, trying to escape the heat
But far off in the distance came the sound of running feet
And as the knights took order, the fights began to start
Victory after victory, they could nearly choke this heart

They came up the road, forty quays ago
Up the road, the hand came out the blue
They were still in their train, got a message about
To make it to the station, to win the destination that they'd run

They ran down the backstreets, trying to escape the heat
But far off in the distance came the sound of running feet
They were running down the backstreets, trying to escape the heat
But far off in the distance they could see the sights
Far off in the distance they could see the sights

It was a station was their destination
What are they really coming back to?
All the time it was a human zoo
And this is what they fought all night to get back to

They want to be anti-heroes

They want to be anti-heroes
They want to be anti-heroes
They want to be anti-heroes

They want to be anti-heroes

They want to be anti-heroes
They want to be anti-heroes
They want to be anti-heroes

They want to be anti-heroes

They want to be anti-heroes
They want to be anti-heroes

They want to be anti-heroes
They want to be anti-heroes
They want to be anti-heroes
They want to be anti-heroes
They want to be anti-heroes
They want to be anti-heroes
They want to be anti-heroes
They want to be anti-heroes
They want to be anti-heroes

They want to be anti-heroes
They want to be anti-heroes
They want to be anti-heroes
