Victims

Take a step back Look through different eyes People in pain No shelter from the storm Dealt a bad hand Nothing more nothing less All the struggle makes a life in distress Can’t shut out the faces I hear the cries Victims of circumstance Fighting to survive But all you want is more Nothing satisfies Don’t forget those just scraping by Take a step back Look through different eyes The plight of others never on your mind Dealt a bad hand Nothing more nothing less All the pain make a life in distress Can’t shut out the faces I hear the cries Victims of circumstance Fighting to survive But all you want is more Nothing satisfies Don’t forget those just scraping by One thing to acknowledge Another to ignore Families living in the streets frozen to the core Beaten and tired Desperate and weak Buildings tough the sky where the vultures meet Making rotten agendas Planning their moves Power hungry vermin holding back the truth Coming at you strong Coming at you fast Paving the way for their cycle to last Can’t shut out the faces I hear the cries Victims of circumstance Fighting to survive But all you want is more Nothing satisfies Don’t forget those just scraping by Never given a shot Only knowing desperation Looking for an escape A way out of hell Insanity sets in We question why How did we end up this way? How can we justify? Those with nothing and those on top Pushing for power Some survive some drop You say it’s luck of the draw A roll of the dice The hand of misfortune can’t be denied
