Stop the Madness

[Verse 1]
Living on the streets from day to day
Violent crimes are on the rampage
Unemployment's at an all-time high
The air is full of painful children's cries

Pushers on every street corner
Uppin' business for the local coroner
The newspaper reads:
"Four gunned down New Year's Eve"
Another drive-by shooting
Crosstown in the city streets

[Chorus]
A young girl sleeps in a box
Former prom queen is hooked on rocks
The rich man's wallet is getting thicker
While soup lines are getting bigger

What's with the world?
Don't you еven give a shit?
Nevеr reach out unless you benefit
It's all for one and none for scum
Now you tell me: What is wrong?

No respect for life
You don't respect the dead
Marching all over each other
Just to get ahead

[Verse 2]
Hated for the color of their skin
Society breeds racism
Kill to belong to a gang
Wrong color: bang!

Teenage suicide is growing, lost hope
In hoping, pimps selling young flesh
Gotta peddle pussy while it is fresh
While it is juicy

[Chorus]
A young girl sleeps in a box
Former prom queen is hooked on rocks
The rich man's wallet is getting thicker
While soup lines are getting bigger

What's with the world?
Don't you even give a shit?
Never reach out unless you benefit
It's all for one and none for scum
Now you tell me: What is wrong?

No respect for life
You don't respect the dead
Marching all over each other
Just to get ahead

[Refrain]
Just to get ahead
Just to get ahead
Just to get ahead

[Outro]
Our future is looking grim
And world peace is a myth
Now I only wish we could
Stop this madness!
