Hallowed Ground |
Everybodys intent on killing someone |
The streets are closed and theres a kid on the run |
The bullets scream out from gun to gun |
Everybodys intent on being someone |
The cold and darkness of the criminal dawn |
Wrapped in blankets, gotta keep ourselves warm |
A child in the arms of a teenage mum |
Who will be the there, who will be the next victim |
Of the criminal dawn? |
Old friends meet on the edge of town |
Sharing conversation, hoping thingsll soon get better |
While their children meet, got the world at their feet |
Not knowing whats around the corner |
Are we living for an uncertain future? |
Down on the corner sits a broken man |
Lives by the bottle swears never again |
Lost his money on the dogs and gin |
Now he looks for his supper in a garbage can |
The kids hang around by the old schoolground |
Right by the river where the body was found |
Throwing stones on hallowed ground |
Who will be there, who will be the next victim |
Of the criminal dawn? |
Old friends meet on the edge of town |
Sharing conversation, hoping thingsll soon get better |
While their children meet, got the world at their feet |
Not knowing whats around the corner |
Are we living for an uncertain future? |
In the cold and darkness of the criminal dawn |
Wrapped in blankets, gotta keep ourselves warm |
A child in the arms of a teenage mum |
Who will be the there, who will be the last victim |
Of the criminal dawn? |
Old friends meet on the edge of town |
Sharing conversation, hoping thingsll soon get better |
While their children meet, got the world at their feet |
Not knowing whats around the corner |
Are we living for an uncertain future? |
