lyrics

One hundred people scream out in the streets. Bodies get trampled as they try to flee. A party turned nightmare on Execution Street. A party turned bloodbath in the summer heat. Glasses hit the ground. Gunshots ring out loud through the panicked crowd. The party is over, now. The party is done. It’s a massacre in the summer sun.

Welcome to the block party bloodbath. An east-end street has turned to a warpath. People scatter in fear as they’re forced to face death, forced to run fast. Run! Run for your life. They blocked it off with a barricade. Now they line the streets with yellow tape.

The aftermath spells a horror scene as broken glass and bullet shells litter the streets. An act of gang war, a reflection of hate. Spilt beer and blood streaks stain the pave. Pedestrians hit the ground, cup their hands to their ears to muffle the sound. The sirens are ringing, now. The party is done. It's a massacre in the summer sun.

Welcome to the block party bloodbath. An east-end street has turned to a warpath. People scatter in fear as they’re forced to face death, forced to run fast. Run! Run for your life. They blocked it off with a barricade. Now they line the streets with yellow police tape.

Pack up your lawn chairs, your beer koozies. It’s time to go. Cut the DJ, hit the deck as the bullets fly. The summer sky shimmering heat from the barrel of a gun. It's time to go because the party is done.
