[Intro]                 [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus 1] When the lightning strikes [Verse 2] Zip gun Johnny’s finger is itching                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 [Chorus 1] When the lightning strikes ooh [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus 2] And the chains they crash like thunder While the weak ones all retreat Gotta draw first blood Or they’ll read your funeral rights [Chorus 1] When the lightning strikes [Verse 4] Um it’s dog eat dog when you’re meeting 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 [Chorus 1] When the lightning strikes [Verse 5] Ooh 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 [Chorus 2] And the chains they crash like thunder While the weak ones all retreat Gotta draw first blood Or they’ll read your funeral rights [Instrumental Break]           [Outro] When the lightning strikes              When the lightning strikes When the lightning strikes Can’t you hear the thunder When the Lightning Strikes Can’t you hear the thunder When the lightning strikes Can’t you can’t you can’t you hear the thunder             When the lightning strikes              Can’t you can’t you can’t you hear the thunder When the lightning strikes              Can’t you can’t you can’t you hear the thunder When the lightning strikes              Can’t you can’t you can’t you hear the thunder When the lightning strikes              [Fade Out]
