  • Fifteen years in the academy
    He was like no cadet they'd ever seen
    A man so hard, his veins bleed ice
    And when he speaks he never says it twice
    They call him Judge, his last name is Dredd
    So break the law, and you wind up dead
    Truth and justice are what he's fighting for
    Judge Dredd the man, he is the law
    DROKK IT!
    With gun and bike he rules the streets
    And every perp he meets will taste defeat
    Not even Death can overcome his might
    Cause Dredd and Anderson, they won the fight
    When the Sov's started the Apocalypse war
    Mega-City was bombed to the floor
    Dredd resisted, and the judges fought back
    Crushed the Sov's with their counter-attack
    DROKK IT!
    Respect the badge - he earned it with his blood
    Fear the gun - your sentence may be death because...
    I AM THE LAW!
    And you won't fuck around no more - I AM THE LAW
    I judge the rich, I judge the poor - I AM THE LAW
    Commit a crime I'll lock the door - I AM THE LAW
    Because in Mega-City... I AM THE LAW
    In the cursed earth where mutants dwell
    There is no law, just a living hell
    Anarchy and chaos as the blood runs red
    But this would change if it was up to Dredd
    The book of law is the bible to him
    And any crime committed is a sin
    He keeps the peace with his law-giver
    Judge, jury, and executioner
    DROKK IT!
    CRIME - The ultimate sin
    Your iso-cube is waiting when he brings you in
    LAW - It's what he stands for
    Crime's his only enemy and he's going to war
    LEAD BREAKCRIME - The ultimate sin
    Your iso-cube is waiting when he brings you in
    LAW - It's what he stands for
    Crime's his only enemy and he's going to war Writer/s: CHARLIE L. BENANTE, DANIEL ALAN SPITZ, DANIEL LILKER, FRANK JOSEPH BELLO, JOSEPH A. BELLARDINI, SCOTT IAN ROSENFELD
