Some kid's only sweet sixteen
Think they're really though
You could give them eyerything
It wouldnt' be enough
Mothers crying all alone
What did I do wrong
Raising up a family
You've got to be so strong
CHORUS
After the love has gone
How can we carry on
Father is a broken man
He drinks to forget
He's searching for the higher ground
But he ain't found it yet
Every day just like the last poverty and lust
So hateful of the richer man
Because he ain't like us
CHORUS
After the love has gone
How can we carry on
What used to be right and wrong
Like walking into a storm
Strangled be religion
Those that still believe
When you don't have nothing
The Lord will relieve
Television lifestyles
People come on down
Welcmoe to the future
Your feet won't touch the ground
CHORUS
(REPEAT 2x)
