[Verse 1]
The situation's got me rattled
I twist and turn late at night
This whole world is up in shambles
Who is the one to make it right
Missing persons lost in action (action)
Forgotten victims of the night (victims of the night)
They are making crime the main attraction (attraction)
They are making everyone uptight
They are all looking for a fight

[Chorus]
In this confusion from day to day
Sometimes fear just makes no sense
In this crossfire I see one way
In self defense

[Verse 2]
You will take your chances, Mr. Policeman (policeman)
You are like a cat with thirteen lives (cat with thirteen lives)
Your law and order is our lifeline (lifeline)
Through the danger, you will survive
I do what I need to stay alive

[Chorus][x2]
In this confusion from day to day
Sometimes fear just makes no sense
In this crossfire I see one way
In self defense
In self (self) defense[x2]

Journey

Journey is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1973, composed of former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred while fronted by vocalist Steve Perry, from 1978 until the group’s disbandment in 1987. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981’s “Don’t Stop Believin'”, which in 2009 became the top-selling track in iTunes history amongst songs not released in the 21st century. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band’s eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, “Open Arms”. Its 1983 follow-up album, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band’s appeal in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Journey enjoyed a successful reunion with Perry in the mid-1990s and later regrouped with a series of lead singers.
