Latchkey Kid lyrics

So many stories to be told across the ages young and old.
Could it be that we`ve become immune to all we hear on daytime news,
Where is the passion to unite?
Because divided we can`t fight all the troubles in this life.

There`s so many things that we are fighting. Yeah.
There`s so many people out there trying. Yeah.

And there`s a little girl only six years old.
Her daddy does drugs.
Her mama`s on the road.
She`s a latchkey kid before she`s even grown.
What we really need to do is give the girl a chance.
Put her on the road where there`s no way back,
To a life that she`s always known.
We gotta do something. Yeah.
Can`t do nothing. Yeah.

A&E is full of life.
Somebody`s son got in a fight.
Doctors say it`s touch and go,
So nobody`s going home.
Friday night is where it starts.
Kids all high and having fun.
There will be a loss of life.
Trivial things that start a fight.

There`s so many things we could be fighting. Yeah.
But do we give a damn and are we trying? Yeah.

And there`s a little girl only six years old.
Her daddy does drugs.
Her mama`s on the road.
She`s a latchkey kid before she`s even grown.
What we really need to do is give the girl a chance.
Put her on the road where there`s no way back,
To a life that she`s always known.
We gotta do something. Yeah.
Can`t do nothing. Yeah.

It`s a crazy world we`re living in. Yeah.
It`s a crazy world we`re living in. Yeah.

Across town in a club, a girl`s on the floor.
She`s lying in the dark.
She did it once before.
Her body`s full of drugs.
She did it for a rush.
Don`t it make you wonder just how many more?
We gotta do something; it`s not right.
Can`t keep saying our hands are tied.
Gotta do something but it`s too late:
There`ll be another mother digging a grave.

There`s so many things that we are fighting. Yeah.
But do we give a damn and are we trying? Yeah.

And there`s a little girl only six years old.
Her daddy does drugs.
Her mama`s on the road.
She`s a latchkey kid before she`s even grown.
What we really need to do is give the girl a chance.
Put her on the road where there`s no way back,
To a life that she`s always known.
We gotta do something. Yeah.
Can`t do nothing. Yeah.

It`s a crazy world we`re living in. Yeah.
It`s a crazy world we`re living in. Yeah.

The world`s gone crazy that we are living in.
The world`s gone crazy that we are seeing in.
The world`s gone crazy more than a little bit.
The world`s gone crazy. Yeah.

The world`s gone crazy that we are living in.
The world`s gone crazy that we are seeing in.
The world`s gone crazy more than a little bit.
The world`s gone crazy.
