Joel Turner - These Kids lyrics

rate me

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 />

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
