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
