What is happening in the streets, the mindless endless wars, and ignorance perpetuated by media and all our so called authority figures.

Lyrics
Justiceville
Down yippee kay ayy ohh
Someone burned Justiceville
Down yippee kay ayy ohh
Concrete jungle under red sunrise
A crowd has gathered
But they know not why
Mass humanity under fire
And as the flames began to grow
We the jury judged a beauty show
And when the beauty queen didn't smile
We turned the TV dial
What did I know
I saw the scene in a magazine
The words could not teach me
I heard not a sound
While someone burned Justiceville
Down yippee kay ayy ohh
Yippee kay ayy ohh
Change another channel and another still
We sat through preachers, wars and unpaid bills
Serenaded by the sermons we fell asleep
With so many promises to keep
What did I know
I caught the fight via satellite
The bombs could not reach me
I heard not a sound
Someone burned Justiceville
Everybody's talkin 'bout the way out of town
Somewhere to run
Did I take it all for granted
Did we take it all
Everybody's hoping we got someone to hold on to
When there's no place to hide
They sing down down and yippee kay ayy ohh
And I'm still standing by your side...
What did I know
I saw the scene in a magazine
Words could not reach me
I heard not a sound
Someone burned Justiceville
What did I know
I saw the scene in a magazine
Staring at the stars so fine in a supermarket line
They covered all the pages yea the word never reached me
I heard not a sound
Someone burned Justiceville down
What did I know
I caught the fight via satellite
Checkin out the bombs on the screen
And all the bombs on the screen couldn't boom boom teach me
I heard not a sound
On a wheel in cage
You keep on running
Through the age of the rage
And they keep on coming... they keep on
Singing down down and yippee kay ayy ohh
Singing down down and yippee kay ayy ohh
Yippe kay ayy ohh
Yea Yea Yea Yea Yea
