“Kids”

​Just a day in the life of a kid
Caught under the stress of a world gone mad
And is it any wonder
He sleeps to the Thunder
Of gunshots it's got so bad
Kids get pissed
Take a blade slit your wrists
Or go shoot up your school
15 minutes of shame to your name
To be yesterday’s bad News
Can anybody tell me where we went wrong
Kids in the street…no food…no home
Babies having babies…thinking they grown
Because the TV can't teach right from wrong
Just another kid without a mother
Knowing daddy never loved her
Lost in a world so cold…looking for attention
Doing things she'd never mention
To feel love she’s never known
Kids get pissed
Take a blade…slit your wrists
We'll blame the music you listen to
15 minutes of shame to your name
To be yesterdays bad news
