the end

Lyrics:

Four year old at play, shot and killed today, never even had a chance.
Seventeen and high, threw away his life, has a gun to feel like he's a man.

Can't have it any other way.

Laying in the street, asking for a drink, doesn't have a place to live.
Pregnant at thirteen, still can hear the screams, something that she never will forget.

Can't have it any other way.

I'm trying to open my mind.

So you can keep your faith,
'cause i'll just walk away.
There's no reason for me to stay.

I'm trying to open my mind. x2

I'm trying to make up my mind.
