simultaneously.

Additional lyrics:
2. Al Capone and Bad Boy Jones on the wrong side of the law.
Johnny D. and his company, always first to the draw.
Gangster lean, feelin' so mean, tryin' to take more than their share.
Cause all they saw was ruling it all, the scent of blood was in the air.
3. So here we are and we've come this far but it's only getting worse.
The foreign lands with their terrorist demands only cause the good to hurt.
The USA, the USSR, with their six-guns to their sides.
I see the message written on the wall: Too much anger deep inside.

Additional lyrics:
2. Al Capone and Bad Boy Jones on the wrong side of the law.
Johnny D. and his company, always first to the draw.
Gangster lean, feelin' so mean, tryin' to take more than their share.
Cause all they saw was ruling it all, the scent of blood was in the air.
3. So here we are and we've come this far but it's only getting worse.
The foreign lands with their terrorist demands only cause the good to hurt.
The USA, the USSR, with their six-guns to their sides.
I see the message written on the wall: Too much anger deep inside.
