Joel Turner - These Kids lyrics
rate meThese kids trapped in a struggle and <br />
Don't know where they're heading, no <br />
A head full of trouble is all that they're getting <br />
And nobody knows the suffering they go through <br />
And you wouldn't believe 'em if they told you <br />
<br />
These kids trapped in a struggle and <br />
Don't know where they're heading, no <br />
A head full of trouble is all they're getting <br />
And nobody knows the suffering they go through <br />
And you wouldn't believe 'em if they told you <br />
<br />
So many songs, so many times <br />
The world had to hear so many rhymes <br />
About how life is for strugglers <br />
Minority groups, kids with single mothers <br />
Young homies turn hustlers, stealing for money <br />
It's kinda funny how the crime rate is so high <br />
In suburbs where family ties are low, 'n suicides on the rise <br />
<br />
Oh why, so many die coz in their eyes <br />
The mistake they made, can't be erased the only way out is to take their life <br />
And if they don't do it sudden then they'll do it slowly <br />
Polluting themselves with drugs, because they on this world lonely <br />
So we as a nation just class 'em as a waste of space <br />
And if they don't help the economy then strip 'em naked <br />
Put 'em on the streets 'n make sure the police hate 'em <br />
And feed the public phony information on the evening news <br />
<br />
Kids may bomb police stations, to get at the boys in blue <br />
This song goes out to the whole justice system <br />
Instead of listening to the kids with the problems <br />
They just tick them off more <br />
Until these kids in prison or dead before they twenty four <br />
<br />
These kids trapped in a struggle and <br />
Don't know where they're heading, no <br />
A head full of trouble is all that they're getting <br />
And nobody knows the suffering they go through <br />
And you wouldn't believe 'em if they told you <br />
<br />
You probably heard the news about the 14 year old kid <br />
Who went to Woodridge to get a stick but got his neck slit <br />
What you'll expect in, the situation that he was facing <br />
With all of these expectations he just wanted to get wasted <br />
But the mistake he made was fatal <br />
What about my mate who put a rope around his neck <br />
But he choked to death instead coz the fall never broke his neck <br />
See both of them, were trapped in a struggle none of us could comprehend <br />
The younger was in need of weed, the other had problems with his head <br />
Now they're both dead, and the same thing happens time 'n time again <br />
Kids dying all the time 'n leave us asking why my friend <br />
And then there is those who run away from home <br />
Live on the streets 'n chrome <br />
Can't deal with tha pain of the world so they get stoned <br />
Sit in a zone, become known as the local drones <br />
With low vocal tones, they communicate with hopeless groans <br />
And nobody knows they came from broken homes <br />
Plus to us they're just emotionless clones <br />
And the pain plagues their brains they can't maintain healthy lives <br />
Change is all but easy, a life of crime is all but nice <br />
Plus life isn't worth living unless ya given the chance to fight <br />
Drugs might not be the answer, but who knows wrong from right <br />
When ya parents drinks 2 whole bottles <br />
Of wine, 'n puts the hose in the coke bottle, <br />
A lot of the time, kids don't know any different <br />
It's like they losing their minds, can't get a hold of their visions <br />
Think they're doing just fine, but they still in the struggle <br />
Yeah the kids of this time, in a whole lotta trouble <br />
If you in trouble, jump over that puddle <br />
Some where out there someone really loves you <br />
Loves you like you never been loved, yeah <br />
Loves you like you've never been loved <br />
<br />
These kids trapped in a struggle and <br />
Don't know where that they're heading, no <br />
A head full of trouble is all they're getting <br />
And nobody knows <br />
Nobody knows <br />
<br />
These kids trapped in a struggle and <br />
Don't know where they're heading, no <br />
A head full of trouble is all they're getting <br />
And nobody knows the suffering they go through <br />
And you wouldn't believe 'em if they told you <br />
<br />
These kids trapped in a struggle and <br />
Don't know where they're heading, no <br />
A head full of trouble is all they're getting <br />
And nobody knows the suffering they go through <br />
And you wouldn't believe 'em if they told you
