Screaming City
Written by: Doug Scharley
Lyrics © D. R. Scharley Consulting Inc.
The Police block the street
The crowd must retreat
I see what you see
Voices call for change
Must seem pretty strange
You see what I see
Violence never ends
Killing all my friends
Social injustice
Stand up for our rights
We have set our sights
We’ll show our toughness
(Chorus)
Right now
Right now
Right now
Right now now now now
Right now
Right now
Right now
Right now now now now
Now now now now
Now now now now now now
How did we get here?
When we were so near
I see what you see
Now it’s all too clear
Love has turned to fear
You see what I see
Anger in the air
Frustration everywhere
The city is screaming
Ready to ignite
Got to make it right
Or there’s no meaning
(Chorus)
Right now
Right now
Right now
Right now now now now
Right now
Right now
Right now
Right now now now now
Now now now now
Now now now now now now
The streets are ablaze
There’s no more malaise
I see what you see
Fighting has begun
Ain’t no place to run
You see what I see
Hold a people down
Everyone will drown
Social injustice
Now we take our stand
Together hand-in-hand
We’ll end injustice
(Chorus)
Right now
Right now
Right now
Right now now now now
Right now
Right now
Right now
Right now now now now
Now now now now
Now now now now now now
