Living in Fear - Eric Burdon

Out in the streets

Where the crime rate is rising

There’s people out there frightened for their lives

And out on the streets

Where the blood runs like water

And decent people lock their doors and hide

We’re living in fear

Fighting for survival

Knowing that the rival

Is out there somewhere

We’re living in fear

Fighting for survival

The streets are paved with crime and corruption

There’s innocent people

Living in fear

Where is the justice?

In this cold and concrete jungle

Where violence and trouble still prevail

And tell me what can we do

Will we live with this cancer

Or will we find an answer to the plague

For heaven’s sake

People out there living in fear

Fighting for survival

Knowing that their rival

Is out there somewhere

We’re living in fear

Fighting for survival

Yeah those streets are paved with crime and corruption

There’s innocent people

Living in fear

Where is the justice?

In this cold and concrete jungle

Where violence and trouble still prevail

And tell me what can we do

Will we live with this cancer

Or will we find an answer to the plague

For heaven’s sake

People out there living in fear

Fighting for survival

Knowing that their rival

Is out there somewhere

We’re living in fear

Fighting for survival

Yeah those streets are paved with crime and corruption

There’s innocent people

Living in fear
