[Verse 1]

Gunned down cold on a raw deal

Home turf, my battlefield

In no one's way, caught in a crossfire

Stray bullets can kill

[Chorus]

Expendable youth

Fighting for possession

Having control

A principle obsession

Rivalry and retribution

Death: the only solution

[Verse 2]

Injured soul on the hard ground

Head blown off, facedown

Lying in a pool of blood

An accidental death, homicide

[Chorus]

Expendable youth

Fighting for possession

Having control

A principle obsession

Rivalry and retribution

Death: the only solution

[Instrumental Break]

Try and take me, you motherfucker!

[Guitar Solo: Jeff Hanneman]

[Guitar Solo: Kerry King]

[Bridge]

Struggling to survive

This drug-induced warfare

Having control

A principle obsession

Expendable youth

Fighting for possession

Violence is only a friend

[Chorus]

Expendable youth

Fighting for possession

Having control

A principle obsession

Rivalry and retribution

Death: the only solution
