By day I hear the screams
Of a compromising scene
Has the wailing wall ridden
The waves back through time
What kind of idea
Has been planted in the mind
When stealing babies and killing
your folks earns you spots on
Prime time
Down we go / one more time / here we go
And I ask -- is this right?
To anyone who would hear
Is it something I missed or wasn't told
And life goes on -- in Belltown...
The needle finds it's way
Into daddy's arm to stay
While the kid's are thrown to the night
And told to play
The sirens sound piercing the night
Shots echo's lead me to the sight
A dead body -- nothing left -- but a proud
punk saying this is my life
Down we go / one more time / here we go
And I ask -- is this right?
To anyone who would hear
Is it something I missed or wasn't told
And life goes on -- in Belltown...
Ring the bells in Belltown /
another soul's thrown away
Ring the bells in Belltown /
Should we cry or should we pray
Ring the bells in Belltown /
for the children born today
Ring the bells in Belltown /
for the price they'll have to pay
Ring the bells in Belltown /
another death tonight
Ring the bells in Belltown /
ask God to make it right
