Song lyrics

Everybody shouting, working up a sweat,
Stepping over lines, you know what happen next,
More trouble than anyone can use,
It's a predetermined thing, you lose your right to choose,
No way to turn it around.
You got no more time, no time to calm yourself down,
Once you press the button, man, it's coming to a head,
Pretty soon, babe, you'll be a long time dead.

Little brother, I'm telling you now,
Your pride can take a hit,
Little brother, take a deep breath,
Cool off, man, forget about it!

Drop the weapon,
Kick it away,
Drop your gun,
Look the other way.
Drop the weapon,
Live another day,
Drop your blade,
Listen to what I say.

Who you're trying to impress? You making a bid
To be a big shot brother, but you're just a small kid,
Now your reputation got a minor stain,
It'll be washed away by tomorrow's rain.

Little brother, I'm telling you now,
Your pride can take a hit,
Little brother, take a deep breath,
Cool off, man, forget about it!

Drop the weapon,
Kick it away,
Drop your gun,
Look the other way.
Drop the weapon,
Live another day,
Drop your blade,
Listen to what I say.

No sound of silence,
Just streets of violence,
We're in overload,
Wrong side of the road.
Oh, San Francisco,
Where the Hell did you go?
We have enough of that peace and love.

Drop the weapon,
Kick it away,
Drop your gun,
Look the other way.
Drop the weapon,
Live another day,
Drop your blade,
Listen to what I say.

No sound of silence,
Just streets of violence,
We're in overload,
Wrong side of the road.
Oh, San Francisco,
Where the Hell did you go?
We have enough of that peace and love.

Come and hold my hand,
Then we can all stand
And say a prayer to someone out there,
Anyone out there.
