Beaten senseless by the hands of time I see their empty eyes as I pa** them by Tired of living a life that's just a lie Devoid of hope, born only to die Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers We all know what we are There's no beauty in this part of town There's no solace when the lights go out I walk the same damn streets It's the same air that I breathe Just like them I'll live Just like them I'll die Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers We all know what we are To open graves, to empty hands To our bitter fate, swallow it down Breathless now, as silence surrounds Another restless soul that life pa**ed by I heard him say that only dust remains I paid him no mind but he sure was right There's no beauty in this part of town There's no solace when the lights go out To open graves, to empty hands To our bitter fate, swallow it down
