What a World

by Jeff   Feb 24, 2005



Thunder and storms,I feel paralyzed
I have tried to love someone,they have never loved me back
I have tried to find a job,no one will ever give me one
Uneducated and unexperienced,that is the usual answer now
Tried to grow a garden,the wind blew it away
I have tried to die,they told me its a crime.
I have tried to beg,streetchild became my new name
Cold nights,cold feet,cold stomach
That is my daily life
I then went to jail,the fellas raped me.
Now on the street again,they say I am a criminal
Give me a job,white house doesn't care
Tried to play soccer,they broke my leg
Tried to volunteer,said I have no experience
The son of trouble,call me all the names
What a world,somebody tell me
