so you have freedom
so you have peace
there on the corner is the police
shinin' the bullet, shinin' the gun
so sleep well and right
there's murder in hogtown
tonight
and they're comin' for you
they'll be comin' for me
no matter what saves you
no matter what's free
and they'll be comin', dogs of
night
so sleep well and tight
there's murder in hogtown
tonight
those gangs in the alleys
those gangs on the streets
they ain't much different
to those on the beat
bullet proof bellies, nerves of steel
so sleep well at night
there's murder in hogtown
tonight
now the chief of police
shines like clown
while a woman lies weeping
for her boy who is found
stung by a bullet, fired at five feet
so sleep well and right
there's murder in hogtown
tonight
