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 colour blind
   Rage is breaking loose
   For our defence
   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
   So there's a future again
