Lyrics
There's fighting in the streets
There is conflict and violence happening in the streets.
There's writing on the walls
There are visible signs or messages on the walls, possibly indicating unrest or rebellion.
There's a city burning
A city is in the process of burning, suggesting widespread chaos or destruction.
And we can see it all
Observers can witness the unfolding events.
The angry mob's in the square
An angry mob is present in a public square.
And they ain't going home
The mob shows no intention of dispersing or going home.
And here we are surrounded by this endless chaos, all alone
The narrator expresses a sense of isolation amidst the surrounding chaos.
It's not, to say, that we weren't trapped here either way
Regardless of the situation, the narrator feels trapped.
Who's right, who's wrong, there's something eerie going on
There's a mysterious and unsettling atmosphere with unclear right and wrong.
Panic on the news
Panic is being reported in the news.
You've got to stay indoors
People are advised to stay indoors for their safety.
Rules are for safety of the population, including yours
Rules are in place for the well-being of the population.
And nobody can come, and nobody can leave
No one is allowed to enter or leave.
They'll watch every move you make, every step you take every breath you breathe
There is intense surveillance, monitoring every move, step, and breath.
It's not, to say, that we weren't trapped here either way
The feeling of being trapped persists.
Who's right, who's wrong, there's something eerie going on
The mysterious and eerie situation continues.
Time's up, truth's out, gather round and hear what it's all about
Time is running out, and the truth is revealed.
I won't sit through this no-more
The narrator refuses to endure the situation any longer.
We'll get through the night
Repetition of the determination to get through the night despite the challenges.
We'll get through the night
-We'll get through the night
-We'll get through the night
-We'll get through the night
-We'll get through the night
-We'll get through the night
-We'll get through the night
-We'll get through the night
-We'll get through the night
-We'll get through the night
-We'll get through the night
-We'll get through the night
-We'll get through the night
-We'll get through the night
-We'll get through the night
-It's not, to say, that we weren't trapped here either way
-Who's right, who's wrong, there's something eerie going on
-Time's up, truth's out, gather round and hear what it's all about
-I won't sit through this no-more
The narrator declares they won't tolerate the situation any further.
