Lyrics Latch Key Kid - Gabrielle

Latch Key Kid

So many stories to be told across the ages young and old
Could it be that we’ve become immune to all we hear on daytime news
Where is the passion to unite?
Because divided we can’t fight all the troubles in this life
There’s so many things that we are fighting.
Yeah
There’s so many people out there trying.
Yeah
And there’s a little girl only six years old
Her daddy does drugs
Her mama’s on the road
She’s a latchkey kid before she’s even grown
What we really need to do is give the girl a chance
Put her on the road where there’s no way back
To a life that she’s always known
We gotta do something.
Yeah
Can’t do nothing.
Yeah
A&E is full of life
Somebody’s son got in a fight
Doctors say it’s touch and go
So nobody’s going home
Friday night is where it starts
Kids all high and having fun
There will be a loss of life
Trivial things that start a fight
There’s so many things we could be fighting.
Yeah
But do we give a damn and are we trying?
Yeah
And there’s a little girl only six years old
Her daddy does drugs
Her mama’s on the road
She’s a latchkey kid before she’s even grown
What we really need to do is give the girl a chance
Put her on the road where there’s no way back
To a life that she’s always known
We gotta do something.
Yeah
Can’t do nothing.
Yeah
It’s a crazy world we’re living in. Yeah
It’s a crazy world we’re living in. Yeah
Across town in a club, a girl’s on the floor
She’s lying in the dark
She did it once before
Her body’s full of drugs
She did it for a rush
Don’t it make you wonder just how many more?
We gotta do something;
it’s not right
Can’t keep saying our hands are tied
Gotta do something but it’s too late:
There’ll be another mother digging a grave
There’s so many things that we are fighting.
Yeah
But do we give a damn and are we trying?
Yeah
And there’s a little girl only six years old
Her daddy does drugs
Her mama’s on the road
She’s a latchkey kid before she’s even grown
What we really need to do is give the girl a chance
Put her on the road where there’s no way back
To a life that she’s always known
We gotta do something.
Yeah
Can’t do nothing.
Yeah
It’s a crazy world we’re living in. Yeah
It’s a crazy world we’re living in. Yeah
The world’s gone crazy that we are living in
The world’s gone crazy that we are seeing in
The world’s gone crazy more than a little bit
The world’s gone crazy.
Yeah
The world’s gone crazy that we are living in
The world’s gone crazy that we are seeing in
The world’s gone crazy more than a little bit
The world’s gone crazy
