People gettin' bugged
People can't walk the street

In New York, Detroit, Alabama
Crime rates getting high
Shame the way we're carrying on
I can't see the reason why

People gettin' mugged
People gettin' bugged
People can't walk the street
Even the streets of London town
Are going down

Call the police

Ain't no city in the country
Things ain't getting rough
Ain't nowhere you can run n' hide
Everywhere's got enough
Especially places like Chicago
Crime has hit the sky
Shame the way we're carrying on
I can't see the reason why
