Trouble in town
~#**************#~
Because they cut my brother down
~#**************#~
Because my sister cant wear her crown
~#**************#~
Theres trouble, theres trouble in town
~#**************#~
Blood on the beat (Oh-oh)
~#**************#~
Oh my goodness, theres blood on the beat
~#**************#~
Law of the jungle or the law of the street
~#**************#~
Theres blood on, theres blood on the beat
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Chris Martin]
~#**************#~
And I get no shelter
~#**************#~
And I get no peace
~#**************#~
And I never get released
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Chris Martin]
~#**************#~
Trouble in town (Oh-oh)
~#**************#~
Because they hung my Brother Brown
~#**************#~
Because their system just keep you down
~#**************#~
Theres trouble, theres trouble in town
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Chris Martin]
~#**************#~
And I get no shelter
~#**************#~
And I get no peace
~#**************#~
And I just get more police, eh
~#**************#~
And I get no comfort
~#**************#~
And I get no name
~#**************#~
Everything is gettin strange
~#**************#~
