[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Murder, drugs, cash, and greed
That touches everyone and everything within the walls
There's no escaping the disease
Sidewalks turn to pharmacies, all the pimps and pushers territories
Dollars pouring in from the victims trapped within
Schoolyard's a place of sorrow, pray your children live to see tomorrow
A place where mothers cry and kiss their dying sons goodbye
Living in a state of fear, afraid of everything they see or hear
Someone they love may get shot for drugs they never even bought

[Verse 2]
Violence is a way of life, revenge delivered with a gun or knife
Paybacks are a bitch, they'll leave you dyin' in a ditch
Caught in the hypnotic spell, their life's story they'll never life to tell
In a hazy curtain, they can't see, the end is certain
Imprisoned by narcotic chains
Life for some will never be the same
Trapped in walls of glass, hoping that this all will pass
But some will find their way outside
Face the evil, eyes open wide
Break the bonds that pull you in, escape the Hell that thrives

[Bridge]
Within the walls of chaos and despair
Most are unemployed, living on welfare
Prowling the halls, the vultures come to feed
On the flesh of those who are enslaved to the need
The final curtain falls but no one sheds a tear
Their pleas for help always seem to fall upon deaf ears
Within the walls of chaos they forgot
That dignity and sanity are things that can't be bought
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
With every passing day another life is cast astray
Wear the wrong colors and you might get blown away
Turn of a page, another name's crossed off the list
Shot between the eyes with a rig clenched in his fist
Driven to the grave, ruled by need for kicks
Extract their own gold teeth to satisfy their fix, hahahahah
There's cracks in the foundation, the time will soon arrive
When the walls will crumble down and bury everyone alive

[Outro]
Within the walls, within the walls of chaos
Within the walls, within the walls of chaos
Within the walls, within the walls of chaos

[Guitar Solo]
