| Age Of Innocence I can't be compromising in my throughts no more I can't prevent the times my anger fills my heart I can't be sympathising with a new lost cause I feel I've lost my patience with the world and all And all the politicans and their hollow promises And all the lies, deceit and shame that goes with it The working man pays everything for their mistakes And with his life too if there was to be a war So we only get one chance, can we take it A life of petty crime gets punished with a holidayAnd we only get one life, can't exchange it Can we hold on to what we have, don't replace it The age of innocence is fading... like an old dream The victim's minds are scarred for life most everyday Assailants know just how much further they can go They know the laws are soft, conviction chances low So we only get one chance, can we take it You can't protect yourselves even in your own homeAnd we only get one life, can't exchange it Can we hold on to what we have, don't replace it The age of innocence is fading... like an old dream For fear of vigilante cries the victims wipe their eyes So now the criminals they laugh right in our face Judicial system lets them do it, a disgrace Despondent public worries where it all will end We can't protect ourselves our kids from crime the trend We cannot warn each other of evil in our midst They have more rights than us, you cannot call that just So we only get one chance, can we take it The age of innocence is fading... like an old dream
And we only got one life, can't exchange it Can we hold on to what we have, don't replace it The age of innocence is fading... like an old dream |
