Age Of Innocence

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
I can't be compromising in my thoughts no moreI can't prevent the times my anger fills my heartI can't be sympathizing with a new lost causeI feel I've lost my patience with the world and allAnd all the politicians and their hollow promisesAnd all the lies, deceit and shame that goes with itThe working man pays everything for their mistakesAnd with his life too if there was to be a warSo we only get one chance can we take itAnd we only get one life can't exchange itCan we hold on to what we have don't replace itThe age of innocence is fading..... Like an old dreamA life of petty crime gets punished with a holidayThe victims' minds are scarred for life most everydayAssailants know just how much further they can goThey know the laws are soft conviction chances lowSo we only get one chance can we take itAnd we only get one life can't exchange itCan we hold on to what we have don't replace itThe age of innocence is fading..... Like an old dreamYou can't protect yourselves even in your own homeFor fear of vigilante cries the victims wipe their tearsSo now the criminals they laugh right in our faceJudicial system lets them do it, a disgraceDespondent public worries where it all will endwe can't protect ourselves our kids from crime the trendWe cannot even warn each other of evil in our midstThey have more rights than us, you cannot call that justSo we only get one chance can we take itAnd we only get one life can't exchange itCan we hold on to what we have don't replace itThe age of innocence is fading..... Like an old dream
