Down but Not Out |
| The youth of today, run wild in the streets |
| They all try to win, in the face of defeat |
| They still, they kill, they’re going straight to hell |
| They don’t hear and they don’t see that they’re not free |
| When I walk down these city streets |
| I see the victims and the casualties |
| Do they stand, a chance today |
| In a world that’s thrown their away |
| They race to the grave |
| Don’t want to heal |
| Don’t want to be saved |
| Abandoned buildings that should be homes |
| Abandoned children left to roam |
| Broken families broken dreams |
| In the night I hear their screams |
| Can’t make your future or kill your past |
| With a spike in your arm or a shotgun blast |
| Till you have the strength to look within |
| You’ll be fighting a battle you’ll never win |
| Mortality suffered society said |
| That money is God and true faith is dead |
| I see it in their eyes tis life they cannot cope |
| The system tells them lies, tries to stick us into giving up hope |
| We’re down, we’re down, but we’re not out |
| There’s still time to find what life’s about |
| Is there a way of telling the troubled youth |
| That what they see on TV is not always the truth |
| We’re down, we’re down, but we’re not out |
| There’s till time to find what life’s about |
