Verse 3

People, don't you understand,

the child needs a helping hand

Or he'll grow to be an angry

young man someday

So take a look at you and me,

are we too blind to see,

Or do we simply turn our heads

and look the other way

Then one night in desperation

the young man breaks away

He buys a gun, steals a car,
