And it's a sad sad story
One of death and crime and glory
Is the one I'm telling you

And in the middle of the night
The bullets fill the sky
Cause in Wilmington that is true

And it's a sad sad story
One of death and crime and glory
Is the one I'm telling you
And in the middle of the night
The bullets fill the sky
Cause in Wilmington that is true

Long time been running
Through my hometown
Where a street divides it's all up
Into a bullet-riddled town

And you can hear them coming
Through a transistor radio
As I walk through the streets
Where I started this dream
It's the place that I call home

And it's a sad sad story
One of death and crime and glory
Is the one I'm telling you
And in the middle of the night
The bullets fill the sky
Cause in Wilmington that is true

And it's a sad sad story
One of death and crime and glory
Is the one I'm telling you
And in the middle of the night
The bullets fill the sky
Cause in Wilmington that is true

Long time been running
It's the East and West battle ground
Where George Blanko took a side at a young age
And he was locked up since he was twelve

And it's a big human wreckage
No matter where you go
As I walk through the streets
Where I started this dream
It's the place that I call home

And it's a sad sad story
One of death and crime and glory
Is the one I'm telling you
And in the middle of the night
The bullets fill the sky
Cause in Wilmington that is true

And it's a sad sad story
One of death and crime and glory
Is the one I'm telling you
And in the middle of the night
The bullets fill the sky
Cause in Wilmington that is true

And it's a sad sad story
One of death and crime and glory
Is the one I'm telling you
And in the middle of the night
The bullets fill the sky
Cause in Wilmington that is true

And it's a sad sad story
One of death and crime and glory
Is the one I'm telling you
And in the middle of the night
The bullets fill the sky
Cause in Wilmington that is true
