The local school has got a real problem
They've hired policemen to restrain the rage
Metal detectors greet the school children

I'd like to say welcome to judgment day

Out on the streets I hear the guns blazing
They're not just children going through a stage
'Cause now they're eighteen and beyond raising

Well, I'd like to say welcome to judgment day

These are the new orphans
They'got their backs against the mall
There is no peace coming
Lock up the doors and tremble behind the walls
The parents wonder what gets into them
Vacation's over, know it's time to pay
I know these words will give you no comfort
But I've got to say welcome to judgment day
