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
