All the little kids left running in the street They´ll find the lonely side of life Alone in time they´ll find There´s a soul inside that´s blind All the little kids left running in the street
They´ll find the lonely side of life Alone in time they´ll find There´s a soul inside that´s blind
Hunger, poverty was something this young boy was never meant to see So how´s he living free? Brothers, mothers, fathers, sisters dying in the heat so helplessly Now what´s he meant to be? TV cameras, news photography portray this boy as something mean Down in New Orleans But this young boy just needs something quick to eat That´s why he´s doing robberies Out in the street
All the little kids left running in the street They´ll find the lonely side of life Alone in time they´ll find There´s a soul inside that´s blind All the little kids left running in the street They´ll find the lonely side of life Alone in time they´ll find There´s a soul inside that´s blind
No wonder we´re called the dying youth The dying age and it´s the truth Jealousy and greed just pollute And no one seems to help or dilute The situation Just point the blame We´re the ones withering away And killing each other every day Living our lives for the change
But all we seem to see is crime and AIDS And all we seem to see is life just wasted I feeling jaded Silent pain, but smiles in people´s faces Smiles in people´s faces Inside they hide it, inside they chase it Our minds, our souls It´s the youngest that are growing in this war-ridden world Yet they´re the ones sitting in unheard Their words are falling on deaf ears Life just wasted, feeling jaded Silent pain, but smiles in people´s faces
All the little kids left running in the street They´ll find the lonely side of life Alone in time they´ll find There´s a soul inside that´s blind
All the little kids left running in the street They´ll find the lonely side of life Alone in time they´ll find There´s a soul inside that´s blind
