Standard (EADGBE)

Eighteen in jail and with guns in their hands

 They were fighting for freedom, but just what is that?

 Bills to the banks, and food for the kids

 With money for college but couldn't get in

 Made all the grades but God's taken to task

 Lies a man in an alley wearing a mask

 Screaming she begs as the people walk by

 But the man he just laughs, the woman she cries

Chorus

 Well its time all you people, turn around

 For the life we've been living, messing around

 Blood we've been spilling, bleed us dry

 Cause the life you've been killing is your life like mine

The needle is sweet and the snow it is pure

The pain I've been hiding from I'm finding a cure

The night it is warm and the light it is cold

The family I'm robbing, I'm calling them home

Chorus

My heart it is thumping my veins they are blue

Blood has been pumping still hasn't met you

The beard that I'm growing will not fully grow

Years are not coming the way I thought they would

Hoping and waiting for something to seem

Like the angels in heaven, bombs on the street

Hoping for love to find a new voice

The song that needs singing has already been sung before
