The local school has got a real problem,
They've hired policemen to restrain the rage,
Metal detectors greet the school children,
And I'd like to say welcome to judgment day.

Out on the streets I hear the guns blazing,
They're not just children going through a stage,
'Cause now they're eighteen and beyond raising,
And I'd like to say welcome to judgment day.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

These are the new orphans,
They've got their backs against the mall,
There is no peace coming,
And I'd like to say welcome to judgment day.

The parents wonder what gets into them,
Vacation's over, now it's time to pay,
I know these words will give you no comfort,
But I'm here to say welcome to judgment day.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Look at the new orphans,
They've got their backs against the mall,
There is no peace coming,
And I'd like to say welcome to judgment day.

Judgment day,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Hey, hey, hey, hey,
Welcome to judgment day,
Judgment day.
