Draw another line * Choose your colours * See the writing on the wall * Hot steel * In the hand of a child * Someone's about to fall * Shots ring out * A child screams * Didn't skin his knees * Hide your eyes * So when they ask * No one will have seen
Power, retribution * Do the colours * Make you strong * Power, retribution * Do you feel like * You belong
A young boy dies * Just eight years old * He wore red instead of green * His killer was caught by the men in blue * He was just thirteen * Big man now * You got your juice * And the fear of all your friends * Put your hands in your pockets * And watch your back * This is how it all begins
Power, retribution * Do the colours * Make you strong * Power, retribution * Do you feel like * You belongPower, retribution * Do the colours * Make you strong * Power, retribution * Do you feel like * You belong * Do you feel like you belong
Did your time * Can't get a job * Don't know what to do * Things have changed * Your best friend's dead * Your girl found someone new * He's drawn his line * He's chosen his colour * He sees you and takes aim * You have regrets * But they never forget * And it starts all over again
Power, retribution * Do the colours * Make you strong * Power, retribution * Do you feel like * You belong * Do you feel like you belong
Draw another line * Choose your colours * See the writing on the wall
