in self-defense

the situation's got me rattled

i twist and turn late at night

this whole world's up in shambles

who's the one to make it right

missing persons lost in action

forgotten victims of the night

they're making crime the main attraction

they're making everyone uptight

they're all looking for a fight

in this confusion from day to day

sometimes fear just makes no sense

in this crossfire i see one way

in self defense

you'll take your chances

mr. policeman

you're like a cat with thirteen lives

your law and order is our lifeline

through the danger

you'll survive

i do what i need to stay alive

in this confusion from day to day

sometimes fear just makes no sense

in this crossfire i see one way

in self defense

in self defense

in self defense

in this confusion from day to day

sometimes fear just makes no sense

in this crossfire i see one way

in self defense
