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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] on and kick out that slime
So there's a future again
