The boys and dukes are ready to rumble The word on the street some heads are gonna tumble Blades gonna flash when the street gangs clash In this avenue tonight When the lightning strikes Zip gun Johnny's finger is itchin' Oh, the lid's gonna blow up in hell's kitchen It's an eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth They're so ruthless when they fight When the lightning strikes Ohh And it's a free for all in the parking lot Tell me who will rule the street And the night explodes When the cops bring down the heat And the chains they crash like thunder While the weak ones all retreat Gotta draw first blood Or they'll read your funeral rights When the lightning strikes It's dog eat dog when you're meetin' your rival In the combat zone it's a means of survival Gonna get last licks on a suicide blitz On a cloak and dagger night When the lightning strikes It's a free for all in the parking lot Over who'll rule the street And the night explodes When the cops bring down the heat And the chains they crash like a thunder While the weak ones all retreat Gotta draw first blood Or they'll read your funeral rights Ohh, ohh When the lightning strikes When the lightning strikes When the lightning strikes Can't ya hear the thunder When the lightning strikes Can't ya hear the thunder When the lightning strikes Can't ya, can't ya, can't ya hear the thunder When the lightning strikes Can't ya, can't ya, can't ya hear the thunder When the lightning strikes Can't ya, can't ya, can't ya hear the thunder When the lightning strikes Can't ya, can't ya, can't ya hear the thunder When the lightning strikes
