Loaded Minds lyrics

young boy is killed by a gun toting driver
he caught him cuase the kid went too far
when the mad was asked why
he replied with conviction
i caught the young punk throwing stones at my car
stones at my car

uncle sam`s on the billboard
stars and stripes shining
as i drive by he`s a message for me
the sign reads the constant preparation for war
this is the preservation of peace

there`s a war in our streets
there`s a war in our streets
and we`re loading our minds
with the word self-defence
take someone`s life for
crossing over our fence
there`s a war in our streets
there`s a war in our streets
and we`re loading our minds
with the word self-defence
take someone`s life for crossing over our fence
that`s the freedom

tricks on his door sent an old man`s heart racing
tricks on his mind broke his patience in two
he answered the door with the crack of a rifle
paper boy dies delivering the news
he becomes the news

fold heroes and murders
they`re condoned and condemned
they`re crucified and idolized
for taking their stand
is this how we live?
all good people on guard
defending our rights
in the home and native land

there`s a war in our streets
there`s a war in our streets
and we`re loading our minds
with the word self-defence
take someone`s life
for crossing over our fence
there`s a war in our streets
there`s a war in our streets
and we`re loading our minds
with the word self-defence
take someone`s life for crossing over your fence
that`s the freedom
