I'd been brought up
early in the mornin'
when daddy came to say goodbye

while mom was on the corner
waitin' for the social yes
man all the kids seem fine

loneliness inside

i don't believe it

i don't believe it
we're almost here


i don't believe it
i don't believe it
we're almost here


walk past school
we meet up at the docks

I need a ways to eat tonight
we'll cover up the bruises
brothers what the hardest

men began to shout and fight
I'm stayin' inside


we don't believe it
we don't believe
we're almost here


we don't believe
we're almost here


but my father tells me
don't cry

cause sometimes the
dark horse dies


you can learn without the system
go 'head
even the dark horse wins


you can learn without the system
don't cry

cause even the dark horse dies

you can learn without the system


mama put some water
in the milk for us to drink

so that we won't notice
my brother came home
with some food

he'd stolen from the man

but said that he'd

worked all day
my father said that
we don't steal

and he pulled him
from his chair
and he gave it back


we all went to bed
without a sound

without a sound
without a sound


don't cry
cause sometimes the dark horse dies


you can learn without the system
go 'head
even the dark horse wins


you can learn without the system


I am just a man now
with my family
I don't need your help no more

you don't need to bother

with me
I have all I need
I have it all
