Police tape out, there's a roadblock
Detective holds the sidewalk chalk
He said, "No media here, put your cameras down"
The search turned up, no weapons found
The suspect, he was just a child
But he stayed out late and he got profiled
Now this town won't be the same
The whole world knows it by name

Phantom City, Phantom City
We live in a graveyard and there ain't no pity
Phantom City, Phantom City
We live in a graveyard and there ain't no pity

City's gonna blow like dynamite
No justice, no peace tonight
And the people rose up and made their voice heard
No, the city's shut down and their eyes are blurred
From the tear gas comin' in just like fog
And the sound we hear, it's a police dog
Now this town won't be the same
The whole world knows it by name

Phantom City, Phantom City
We live in a graveyard and there ain't no pity
Phantom City, Phantom City
We live in a graveyard and there ain't no pity

We're not gonna be alone tonight
You know we're stronger when we all get up and unite
And there's a few of us against a million, you know
And peace and love is the only way to go
The city's gonna blow like dynamite
No justice, no peace tonight
Now this town won't never be the same
The whole world knows it by name

Phantom City, Phantom City
We live in a graveyard and there ain't no pity
Phantom City, Phantom City
We live in a graveyard and there ain't no pity
