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...Oooooh



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



Uum...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



Oooh...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



Oooh, oooh...



When the lightning strikes

When the lightning strikes

When the lightning strikes

Can'tcha hear the thunder

When the Lightning Strikes

Can'tcha hear the thunder

When the lightning strikes

Can'tcha, can'tcha, can'tcha hear the thunder

When the lightning strikes

Can'tcha, can'tcha, can'tcha hear the thunder

When the lightning strikes

Can'tcha, can'tcha, can'tcha hear the thunder

When the lightning strikes

Can'tcha, can'tcha, can'tcha hear the thunder

When the lightning strikes
