Troubled Youth

troubled youth is all we got
no gifts from life, still we stand
we got our pride that's all we need
to live
without

the one who comes from the street
another from a christian family
so straight but still so cold
he had to escape to not give in
third got an addicted mother
never got to know his biologic father
probably found his end on a street
racing with a one way ticket

troubled youth is all we got
no gifts from life, still we stand
troubled youth is all we got
troubled youth is all we need
to live
without

blondie was mistreated by her kins
beat up blue but still she shines
her charm is always there, even if blurred from medicines
all of this just to say
you aren't alone in your dismay
we cut we bled we died
but still it's life we crave

troubled youth is all we got
no gifts from life, still we stand
troubled youth is all we got
troubled youth is all we need
to live
without
