Halt! Who goes there?

I woke up in a curfew late one night
(Curfew, curfew)
My mother and my sister
You know they died of fright
(Curfew, curfew)
No food to eat
So we end up on the other side
(Curfew, curfew)
I'm gonna walk down the street
I say, till somebody shoot me
(Curfew, curfew)
Good God!

I woke up in a curfew
I said late last night
(Curfew, curfew)
Had to fight a soldier
You know he got me uptight
(Curfew, curfew)
Living in my country, stifling my brain
(Curfew, curfew)
You know the whole damn curfew
Kinda got me insane
(Curfew, curfew)
Hey, don't shoot!
Ha-how! Good God!
(Curfew, curfew)
How! How-how-how! Yeah!
(Curfew, curfew)

My front room is a ghetto
Oh, and my backyard is a grave
My brother and my sister
They were supposed to fight to save
But you know, I woke up in a curfew
My shotgun in my hand
I walked right down to Middle Street
And I shot the man, ow!

He say, how-how!
Don't shoot, good God!
(Curfew, curfew)
How! Ooh, how-how! Don't shoot!
(Curfew, curfew)

Shoot! Shoot!
Shoot! Shoot!
Shoot!
Shoot!
I say, how-how, good God!
Oh, let me hear it!
How-how, good God!
Wow, feel it!
How-how!
What are you talking about? Whoa!
Let me hear it!
How-how-how!
Yeah, Lord!

I said, I woke up in a curfew
My shotgun in my hand
Oh, I walked right down to Middle Street
Oh, and I shot the man

Good God! He said, he said
You know what he said?
(Shoot!)
(Curfew, curfew)
You know what he said?
(Shoot!)
He said, how-how!
Good God! Mama!
(Stop or I'll shoot!)
(Curfew, curfew)
(Stop or I'll shoot!)
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo, curfew, curfew
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo, curfew, curfew...
