Latchkey kid

There’s 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 6 years old,
Her daddy does drugs, her mama’s on the road,
She’s a latch key kid before she’s even grown,
All we really need to do is give the girl a chance,
Put her on a road where there’s no way back,
To the life that she’s always known,
We gotta do something,
Can’t do nothing…

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 nights is where it stops,
Kids all high and having fun,
There won’t be a loss of life,
Until he thinks ‘let’s start a fight’…

There’s so many things we could be fighting, yeah,
But do we give a damn and are we trying, yeah…

To the 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…

Out to town in a club, a girl’s on the floor,
She’s lying in the dark, she did it once before,
Her body’s on 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,
We can’t keep saying our hands are tied,
We 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…

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…
