Step into the Madness - Larry Norman

Step into the madness of a million city streets

Where dealers sell white powder and children stand and bleed

Where local gangs are vicious and cops are so impure

That schoolboys carry Uzis so they’ll feel secure

Where fathers rape their daughters and beat up on their sons

Until the mother tries to stop him and goes and buys a gun

Where the local church is closed except a couple times a week

And turns its face from all the homeless in the street

This is America, land of the free

Everyone gets justice and liberty, if you got the money

Bankers and controllers make deals on foreign shore

S And the CIA ships heroin to finance their secret wars

They sell the madmen weapons then send soldiers to their land

And in the name of God we battle for all the oil under the sand

This is America, land of the free

Everyone gets justice and liberty, if you got the money

Step into the madness as a thousand points of light

Illuminate the warheads for the final fight

Step into the madness, say your prayers and drink your tea

Get ready for a kinder, gentler world war three

This is America, land of the free

Everyone gets justice and liberty, if you got the money
