Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come to your street almost every night
The sound is underground
You're too booming big out of poverty
And cleanin' up the street
[Verse 2]
And the man who wants to stand for his piece of land
Gets pushed aside
'Cause he don't quite fit, try to make him quit
And twist his mind, go from behind
[Verse 3]
Call out the hitman, mercy means don't they realize
That when the time comes, they're gonna terrorize?
And I hear every day what you say
That a man's still got his rights
But when the time comes, they're gonna terrorize
[Verse 4]
A brother on the street
Met a small time hooky hood who played guitar
And the strictly middle class said this would never pass
They don't belong
[Verse 5]
Will the people sing to this musical theme
And raise their voice?
We will have to say that they just can't play their guitar
Or go very far?
[Verse 6]
Call out the hitman, mercy means don't they realize
That when the time comes, they're gonna terrorize?
And I hear every day what you say
That a man's still got his rights
But when the time comes, they're gonna terrorize
[Verse 7]
Sweet soul sister meets John from Leicester
And they fall in love
They just get by on the government supply
But it's not enough
[Verse 8]
Call out the hitman, mercy means don't they realize
That when the time comes, they're gonna terrorize?
And I hear every day what you say
That a man's still got his rights
But when the time comes, they're gonna terrorize
[Verse 9]
Call out the hitman, mercy means don't they realize
That when the time comes, they're gonna terrorize?
And I hear every day what you say
That a man's still got his rights
But when the time comes, they're gonna terrorize
[Verse 10]
Call out the hitman, mercy means don't they realize
That when the time comes, they're gonna terrorize?
And I hear every day what you say
That a man's still got his rights
But when the time comes, they're gonna terrorize
[Verse 11]
Call out the hitman, mercy means don't they realize
That when the time comes, they're gonna terrorize?
And I hear every day what you say
That a man's still got his rights
But when the time comes, they're gonna terrorize
[Verse 12]
Comin' to your street almost every night
The sound is underground
You're too booming big out of poverty
And cleanin' up the street
[Verse 13]
And the man who wants to stand for his piece of land
Gets pushed aside
'Cause he don't quite fit, try to make him quit
And twist his mind, go from behind
