Victim of the System

Living in the city where the poverty prevails Sleeping on the side walk you can hear the sirens wail Dining with the rats down on 42nd street Begging for some money, hungry for something to eat Wasted and falling through the cracks Dying while lying on your back VICTIM OF THE SYSTEM Freezing by the fire while you're chilling to the bone Faceless in the crowd And there's no place you call home Crazy from the heat and lost in deep despair Is there no solution, doesn't anybody care? Can't get your feet back on the ground Can't you hear your voice, you can't be found Victim of the system, there's no place you can go Stranded by your country, left here on your own Victim of the system, isn't a pity Victim of the system, living in the city solo Wanted and falling through the cracks Dying while lying on your back Victim of the system there's no place you can go Left here by your country, left here on your own Victim of the system isn't it a pity? Victim of the system living in the city

I'm watching you at home from my prison cell alone Trapped here inside my visual prison Deadly stare into the monitor screen Mesmerized by the latest scenes Switching channels from the ends of the earth Comatose by the thoughts received Visual Prison I'm trapped inside my visual prison The whole world's alive from my field of vision Main attraction from across the sea To the wars in the holy land Chain reaction from a satellite My remote controller's in my hand Visual Prison I'm trapped inside my visual prison The whole world's alive from my field of vision I've got you in my sight You're on my screen tonight You're in my field of vision solo See life passing on the monitoring screen The world so small pictured here at my feet Visual decline etched upon my mind Trapped here inside my prison I'm trapped inside my visual prison The whole world's alive from my field of vision Visual, visual prison I'm trapped inside my field of vision Visual prison, yea, visual prison I've got you in my sight Visual prison

Everybody's got their cross to bear The cards were dealt, life ain't fair It's what you do with what you got You can cry a little you can give a lot There's always something to share The miracle of love is all you need To break the chains, to set you free And lately, I see, the loneliness will fade Falling, like a river from your eyes See the tears roll down, another victim of the night How far will people go? How long until it shows That we've been hiding from the light? I want to know what love always meant to be Cuz I've been blinded by the lie I've come this far to find I don't know what I need Everyone's got their cross to bear Calling, in the middle of the night When you need a friend, cuz something ain't right Your heart is bought and sold And now it leaves you cold I want to know what love always meant to be Cuz I've been blinded by the lie I've come this far to find I don't know what I need Everyone's got their cross to bear solo The cards were dealt, and life's unfair Everybody's got their cross to bear Cross to bear Cross to bear Everybody's got their cross to bear

It doesn't really matter to the kid any more No it doesn't really matter at all It doesn't really matter to the kid any more No it doesn't, doesn't, doesn't Little Stevie's got a Forty-seven Got one thing on his mind And he's boasting all the time Making it clear he's got nothing to fear When he's running with the pack Rushing down the street He might not make it back The young and the ruthless The young and the ruthless Every night in the city lights See the murder in the streets Homicide is the latest craze You can do it on the screen Senseless killings in a brutal wave Another mindless crime Violence is their point of view In a twisted state of mind The young and the ruthless With nothing to fear The young and the ruthless With nothing to fear The young and the ruthless With nothing to fear

She's a lonely girl, holding secrets deep inside It's a crazy world, when your heart And mind collide A prisoners' action, she's trying to run away Doesn't know what she'll find But she's got to get away I hear you cry out in the heat of the night I didn't know I was your ball and chain Cry out just see the light I didn't know I was the one to blame There was a time we shared We had all the words to say But somewhere along this road We went our separate ways I hear you cry out in the heat of the night I didn't know I was your ball and chain Cry out just to see the light I didn't know I was the one to blame Cry out in the heat of the night I didn't know I was your ball and chain You turn and you walk away Leaving me standing here With nothing, no words to say Your silence is clear Solo Chorus out

Well I believe in the power of love It give me strength to carry on It's the only hope that keeps me alive When I feel I can't go on Out in the streets I've seen a thousand empty eyes Never surrender, no, take the power of love When you're down so low, the only way is up Just try reaching for the sky When you've got nothing else, nothing left to lose That's when you open your eyes Out in the streets I've seen a thousand broken dreams Nothing is ever like it seems Never surrender, never give up on your love Never surrender, ‘cause the only way is up Never surrender, take the power of love And never surrender Solo Pre-chorus Chorus
