I'm walkin' down the street, mindin' my own business
When I hear a commotion, people screamin' and shoutin'
I turn around and see a young man, holdin' a gun
He's pointin' it at a police officer, shoutin' "Don't move"
(Chorus)
Click clack pow, officer down
Another life taken, another family torn apart
Click clack pow, the sound of gunfire
In the streets of America, it's a never-ending war
(Verse 2)
The officer tries to reason with the man
But he's too far gone, he's caught up in the moment
He pulls the trigger, the bullet flies
And the officer falls to the ground, dead
(Chorus)
Click clack pow, officer down
Another life taken, another family torn apart
Click clack pow, the sound of gunfire
In the streets of America, it's a never-ending war
(Bridge)
This is a story that happens all too often
In our country, guns are too easy to get
And people are quick to use them to solve their problems
(Chorus)
Click clack pow, officer down
Another life taken, another family torn apart
Click clack pow, the sound of gunfire
In the streets of America, it's a never-ending war
(Outro)
We need to do something about this
We need to stop the violence
We need to make our streets safe again
For our officers, and for our families
