The Strain |
| Into his flesh the knife cuts |
| Inside he wants to survive |
| Surgeons working hard to try to keep him alive |
| He’s only fourteen years old |
| Beside the bed a cop sighs |
| Don’t think it’s fair he’s too young to die |
| Pulse slows and then his heart quits |
| Doctor’s try to shock his life back |
| They’re unaware that in the street he sells crack |
| Bullet hole through the kidneys |
| The man who shot him understood |
| If he could turn it round I’m sure that he would |
| In times of greed and hate |
| One must evaluate |
| The cause of all this pain |
| Social problems stay the same |
| In times of greed and hate |
| One must retaliate |
| The truth is never plain |
| Understand this is the strain |
| Tried to reach society’s standard |
| Have wealth makes you a good man |
| Not in the wrong he just wants to fit in the plan |
| Teach our kids of wealth and power |
| If you happen to live on the wrong side |
| Got to live a life of crime just to keep you alive |
| Today morality has lost |
| Everyone’s reaching for the top |
| We can’t change the world if a bullet can’t be stopped |
| In this age we’ve lost all our values |
| And maybe nothing can suffice |
| If it’s true we’ll crush ourselves in a self destructive vice |
| In times of greed and hate |
| One must evaluate |
| The cause of all this pain |
| Social problems stay the same |
| In times of greed and hate |
| One must retaliate |
| The truth is never plain |
| Understand this is the strain |
