programmed drums, guitar, ukulele, lap steel, vocals
lets face it
we're not gonna change
some people's minds
they weren't raised right
taught to kill and fight
you know the kind
and all I can hope for is
their children will see the light
look with your heart, kid
You know what they're doing aint right
this time we are living in
makes me wanna give in and die
but this rage keeps me living
injustice makes me wanna try
I don't understand how some
folks can turn a blind eye
no more will I ignore
I aint letting up this time
It's now or never
I aint ever seen it this bad
so many years of pretending
what we had
now everything's broken and
every one is the glue
If you won't join us
I'll will fight harder than you
lets face it
we're not gonna change
some people's minds
they weren't raised right
taught to kill and fight
you know the kind
and all I can hope for is
that their children are not blind
look with your heart, kid
we'll make it better this time
