You know the houe down the street
Where the kids are
and every day

They seem to have a new scar
Something strange is going on
And everybody knows

Doors always shut
Windows always closed
The little girl had a burn

The boy was black and blue
They said it came from play
You know that %#@! ain't true

The boy's arm's broke
Girl's scared to speak
Their parents drink all day

Couple of dead beats
Some days they go to school
And other days they might

It's hard to stay awake
After you cry all night
You see 'em every daay

Tear tracks on their cheeks
But they will never tell
It goes on weeks and weeks

(But what can they do?
They're only children man!)


You ain't no $#&@in' kid
Act like you give a damn!
Won't someone save these kids

Do something, call a cop

The other night I heard gun shots!
