There's No Mercy On The Streets

There’s No Mercy On The Streets

By Paul McCann

There’s murder on the streets of Bondi

and people they just turn a blind eye  .

Somewhere an evil one will snigger

as a gangster pulls back the trigger  

on some poor innocent passer by .    

There’s crime  scenes on the streets of Blacktown  

and their motto is never back down

there are so many hard talking dudes

walking around with bad attitudes    

claiming they are the man around town .

  There’s drive by’s on the streets of Auburn

Gone are honest wages they once earned

Its easier to shoot from a car

And let everyone know who you are  

And their rubber continues to burn . 

They’re on the streets of Parramatta

and on corners in Cabramatta

anything can be bought for a price

40 kilos of rice mixed with ice

and those who mind don’t really matter .

There’s fighting on the streets of Sydney

and people seem to be so angry  ,

with red bloodshot eyes in  their sockets

and their sharp flick knives in their pockets

it’s a dangerous place , the city .
