She says "this life ain't worth livin'"
Cute little girl from next door
Night after night she gets beaten
By her drunken daddy that just got home
A million faces around us
Pretending we're blind ones
Who don't want to see
Those many hearts filled with sadness
Won't stop all the madness
Of stories untold
Hey soldier, what are you dreaming
In the gloomy cold embrace of the night
Children still moaning and screaming
That's no reason for you to end the fight
A million faces around us
Pretending we're blind ones
Who don't want to see
Those many hearts filled with sadness
Won't stop all the madness
Of stories untold
I know, you know
Secrets no one ever should keep
But we don't let show
And that makes us guilty of the same crime
The wait is long in the city
So many long for a cure
It's said that help's on the way now
With that my friend you can't be so sure
A million faces around us
Pretending we're blind ones
Who don't want to see
Those many hearts filled with sadness
Won't stop all the madness
Of stories untold
I know, you know
Secrets no one ever should keep
But we don't let show
And that makes us guilty of the same crime
I know, you know
Secrets no one ever should keep
But we don't let show
And that makes us guilty of the same crime
And I know, you know
Secrets no one ever should keep
But we don't let show
And that makes us guilty of the same crime
Old man he's still working doubles
Cuz the check is not enough to survive
He's facing nothing but troubles
Ain't no livin' and he's barely alive
