Day or night - seems always right

To execute a crime

But now it's time - to pull the plug

And stop this bloody game - this bloody game

They're black or white

Crime is color blind

Rage is breaking lose

For our defense

It makes good sense

Lock 'em all away

We've gotta take out the crime

Start all over again

We've gotta clean up the slime

So we can live without pain

We have been told - a million times

Crime will never pay

The loss of life - is hard to take

When evil rules the day

We've gotta take out the crime

Start all over again

We've gotta clean up the slime

So we can live without pain

Take out the crime

You better watch out

When you clean up the slime

When they're doing time

They go out of their mind

They're beyond the point

The point of no return

We've gotta take out the crime

Start all over again

We've gotta clean up the slime

So we can live without pain

We've gotta take out the crime

Start all over again

Come on and kick out that slime
