Day or night - seems always right

To execute a crime

But now it's time - to pull the plug

And stop this bloody game - this bloody game



They're black or white

Crime is color blind

Rage is breaking lose

For our defense

It makes good sense

Lock 'em all away



We've gotta take out the crime

Start all over again

We've gotta clean up the slime

So we can live without pain



We have been told - a million times

Crime will never pay

The loss of life - is hard to take

When evil rules the day



We've gotta take out the crime

Start all over again

We've gotta clean up the slime

So we can live without pain

Take out the crime

You better watch out

When you clean up the slime



When they're doing time

They go out of their mind

They're beyond the point

The point of no return



We've gotta take out the crime

Start all over again

We've gotta clean up the slime

So we can live without pain



We've gotta take out the crime

Start all over again

Come on and kick out that slime

So there's a future again
