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
