Latchkey Kid Lyrics

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
There's so many people out there trying,

And there's a little girl only six years old,
Her daddy does drugs
Her mamma's on the road
She's a latchkey kid before she's even grown
What we really need to do is give the girl a chance
Put her on the road where there's no way back
To a 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 night is where it starts
Kids all high and having fun
There will be a loss of life
Trivial things that start a fight

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

It's a crazy world we're living in
It's a crazy world we're living in

Across town in a club a girl's on the floor
She lying in the dark, she did it once before
Her body's full of 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
Can't keep saying our hands are tied
Gotta do something but it's too late
There'll be another mother digging a grave

It's a crazy world we're living in
It's a crazy world we're living in

World's gone crazy...
