作词 : Killough | |
The churches are empty, the jails are all full | |
It's over our own eyes we're pulling wool | |
Making us blind to decay from within | |
Misguided values where greed is no sin | |
Schools are all open but Johnny can't read | |
With hands tied behind them the teachers just plead | |
Johnny needs parents who honestly care | |
But they're busy working with no time to spare | |
So blame it on Washington, blame it on me | |
Blame it on drugs or the next guy you see | |
Blame it on money when push comes to shove | |
But the blame really lies in the absence | |
The absence of love | |
Guns on the streets, drugs on the rise | |
That victims are children should be no surprise | |
They become what they are from watching adults | |
We all took the test, these are the results | |
Now it's bars on the windows and locks on the doors | |
They look more like prisons than houses and stores | |
It's a moral dilemma wherever you go | |
When love says good-bye, ill will says hello |
