[Verse 1]
Street hustler comes up to me one day
And I'm walkin' down the street, mindin' my own business
Now he looks me up, and he looks me down and says
"Hey, man, what be this?" and "What be that?"
And, "Why you got to look like that?"
Well, I just looked at him, I kind of laughed, I said
"Hey, man, I am cool, I am the breeze"

[Verse 2]
Haven't you heard?
There's a new revolution
Gotta spread the word
Ooh, too much confusion

[Chorus]
(All hell's breakin' loose)
Hey hey, have you read the news?
(All hell's breakin' loose)
Overloading and blowing my fuse

(All hell's breakin' loose)
Day and night, baby, night and day
(All hell's breakin' loose)
In the streets, there's a brand new way, yeah

[Verse 3]
You know we ain't always winners
But this is the life we choose
And we won't change or rearrange
And we ain't ever, ever gonna lose

It ain't always easy
When the going gets rough
When you're getting even
You gotta show your stuff, tell 'em 'bout it now

[Verse 4]
Take a look around
Only one solution
Set the world on fire
Fight the institution

Gonna stand our ground
Feel the new sensation
Something's goin' down
Ooh, rock the nation

[Chorus]
(All hell's breakin' loose)
Hey hey, have you read the news?
(All hell's breakin' loose)
Overloading and blowing my fuse

(All hell's breakin' loose)
Day and night, baby, night and day
(All hell's breakin' loose)
Ah, take it

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 5]
Haven't you heard?
Only one solution
Gotta spread the word
You gotta tell it to the people right now

Take a look around
Feel the new sensation
Set the world on fire
Ooh, rock the nation

[Chorus]
(All hell's breakin' loose)
(All hell's breakin' loose)
(All hell's breakin' loose)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, whoo

(All hell's breakin' loose)
Ooh, hey hey, have you read the news?
(All hell's breakin' loose)
Overloading and blowing my fuse

(All hell's breakin' loose)
Day and night, baby, night and day
(All hell's breakin' loose)
In the streets, you can hear them say

(All hell's breakin' loose)
Hey now, people, have you read the news?
(All hell's breakin' loose)
Overloading and blowing my fuse

(All hell's breakin' loose)
Day and night, baby, night and day
(All hell's breakin' loose)
In the streets, you can hear them say

(All hell's breakin' loose)
Ooh yeah yeah, yeah yeah , yeah yeah
(All hell's breakin' loose)
Hey now, people, have you read the news?
(All hell's breakin' loose)
