Nightline

Watch out; watch...
Watch out...

They got frozen faces,
They live in broken rooms.
They got the strangest of places
In the dark and the gloom.

Watch your mouth boy,
Watch your every word;
We're coming for you,
Don't say you have not heard.

Watch out, watch out the law's about,
Watch out, cover that door;
Watch out, watch out the law's about,
Watch out, what's your freedom for?
Tell it to the nightline.
Tell it before they lose their minds.
Tell it to the nightline,
Tell those people why.

Your mama's crying
And your daddy's sad.
They know your lying
And they know you've been had.

Watch out, watch out the law's about,
Watch out, cover that door;
Watch out, watch out the law's about,
Watch out, what's your freedom for?
Tell it on the nightline.
Tell it before you lose your mind.
Tell it on the nightline,
Tell those people why.

Is there love for sale?
Is there love for sale?

We got safety catches,
But the safety kills.
We got safety matches,
We got gasoline spills.
Talk straight, don't try to lie to me,
Talk straight, look me in the eye;
Talk straight, don't try to lie to me,
Talk straight, tell these people why.

Tell it to the nightline,
Tell it before they lose their minds;
Tell it to the nightline,
Tell these people why.

Is there love for sale?
Is there love for sale?
Is there love for sale, I'm buying.
It's love for sale, I'm trying..
Is there love for sale.
