Murder, drugs, cash, and greed  It touches everyone and everything  Within the walls there's no escaping   the disease  Sidwalks turn to pharmacies  All the pimps and pushers territories  Dollars pouring in from the victims   trapped within  Schoolyard's a place of sorrow  Pray your children live to see tomorrow  A place where mothers cry, and kiss their   dying sons goodbye  Living in a state of fear  Afraid of everything they see or hear  Someone they love may get shot  For drugs they never even bought!  Violence is a way of life  Revenge delivered with a gun or knife  Paybacks are a bitch  They'll leave you dying in a ditch  Caught in the hypnotic spell  Their life's story they'll never life to tell  In a hazy curtain, they can't see the   end is certain  Imprisoned by narcotic chains  Life for some will never be the same  Trapped in walls of glass  Hoping that this all will pass  But some will find their way outside  Face the evil, eyes open wide  Break the bonds that pull you in  Escape the hell that thrives...  Chorus  Within the walls  Of chaos and despair  Most are unemployed  Living on welfare  Prowling the halls  The vultures come to feed  On the flesh of those  Who are enslaved to the need  The final curtain falls  And no one sheds a fear  Their pleas for help always seem to fall  Upon deaf ears  Within the walls of chaos they forgot  That dignity and sanity  Are things that can't be bought  With every passing day  Another life is cast astray  Wear the wrong colors  And you might get blown away  Turn of a page  Another name's crossed off the list  Shot between the eyes  With a rig clenched in his fist  Driven to the grave  Ruled by need for kicks  Extract their own gold teeth  To satisfy their fix  There's cracks in the foundation  The time will soon arrive  When the walls will crumble down  And bury everyone alive!  Within the walls...  Within the walls of chaos...  Within the walls...  Within the walls of chaos...  Within the walls...  Within the walls of chaos!
