Downslide 

 

Well can you see,  just what’s goin’ on with me

Everybody’s turned their back on fellow man

You’re supposed to believe in peace not war

So what the hell we really fightin’ for

Well how’d we get so far off track, we trashed the plan

 

Tell me how you sleep so sound at night

When our kids take to the streets and fight

Havin’ your eyes look the other way too long

Where did we go wrong

 

I can’t believe what I see today

Empty parks where we used to play

The swing sets are empty

Except for the boys with the best deal

 

Tell me how you sleep so sound at night

When our kids take to the streets and fight

Havin’ your eyes look the other way too long

Where did we go wrong

 

 

Elected officials can’t help now

Wasted money ‘cause politics don’t know how

Too busy wrapped in scandals

While the Country’s burnin’ down

 

Why don’t we just take this faithless world back

When the drive by cars show up, attack

Havin’ your eyes look the other way too long

Where did we go wrong

 

Tell me how you sleep so sound at night

When our kids take to the streets and fight

Havin’ your eyes look the other way too long

Where did we go wrong

 

Oh where’d we go so wrong

Oh won’t you open up your eyes

And try to get along
