Lyrics

There's a fire burnin' yeah
It's a dead zone burnin'
It's spreading like a wild fire baby oh yeah
It's a skin tight situation and it's knocking at your door
How many times must a man cross the line.
Must a man cross the line for you.
And how many times will you watch all the signs
'Til the crime that you're blind to is on you
On the killing floor there's an an all war
You'll be lucky lo get out alive
With a trigger man in a victim land better run boy, yeah
when it's a Crackdown, you better say your prayers tonight
It's a downtown meltdown
In this part of the city where they burn all night.
Crackdown, you better run for all your life.
Don't let a lifetime pass you by
Don't let a lifetime pass you by
When it's a crackdown, crackdown, crackdown.
Like fires to the storm
They run the night just for the warm
The world they know has just been torn a limb from limb
There's a headless body in the everglades
A man on the scene in the blackened shades
You want a piece of New York, well give you New York
Fifty bucks an hour at the top of the stairs
On the killing floor, there's an all out war
You'll be lucky to get out alive
With a trigger man in a victim land, better run boy, when it's a ...
When it's a Crackdown, you better say your prayers tonight
It's a downtown meltdown
In this part of the city where they burn all night
Crackdown, you better run for all your life
Don't let a lifetime pass you by
Don't let a lifetime pass you by
