Bury the body into the ground
Breaking and entering, don't make a sound
To the bank we go
We'll put on a show
Guns and knives
Run for your lives
We're coming in gangs
Hear the yelling, the bangs
Of the guns of today's youth
Look in the paper, there is the proof
Crime is getting out of hand
Nobody seems to understand
The effect on the world there is today
The damage on the little girl when daddy goes away
Away to jail to serve his time
This is the punishment, for today's crime.

Sorry, I kind of rushed it a little.
