why I've lost my faith in the world
a chalk line outlines the body
of a child who's only crime
was her drunken father didn't like her cries
a boy sits in a corner with glazed over eyes
the heroine in his veins helps him forget
how his mother pushed him away
cause her boy friend didn't like kids
a girl out selling her body just to get by
but it's still better than her other life
a man huddles in a dark ally living in a cardboard box
came back from a foreign land his mind still can't grasp
the horrors he knows , his family can't understand
sitting in a room in a Va hospital I have to listen to a man
in a white shirt an funky tie , tell me how the world is such
great place , all I need is anger management
take these little green pills they will help chase the demons away
He thinks I'm crazy when I start laughing
on the bottle it say's side affects may cause suicide
an they wonder why I've lost my faith in the world
