- Songwriters: Paul Aspel, John Roome
What have we here storm before calm
Strung out on fear so pass me the napalm
Break bread with me before it is stolen
Sleep with one eye open silence is golden
Life a magazine, death a reality
Drug dealer heroes thug celebrities
Rush hour gridlock may seem drastic
An open road compared to drug traffic
Starving to death on a Quaalude diet
Living in a slow motion riot
Conciseness it has been gagged and bound
Better make your last confession
The world's doing its best impression
Of a ship with nowhere to go but down
Skyscraper fantasies, ghetto realities
Dreams watered down like soft core pornography
Watch your step gang related death
Funeral day wonder who's next
Crime is the standard built up immunity
Only care if it's our community
Smokescreen safety
Can't trust the government
In this world, hell seems heaven sent
We're in a slow motion riot
Life a fantasy, death reality
Life a quarantine, death a courtesy
Life a brevity, death finality
Life a foul disease, death a remedy
In the Know
