We see it all around us,
Everybody's doing drugs.
Mom and dad becoming thugs.
We're all connected to a plug.
And we're running out of luck,
With littles girls becoming sluts.
While the others hide their cuts.
And they flash their little butts.
But wait! There's even more:
Daddy's in bed with a whore
Little boys marching off to war
don't wanna know what's behind her door.
And that's not all! That's not all!
babies really drinking alcohol
Ten year old stealing from the mall
Painting graffiti on the wall
Faces painted like a doll.

I just want to pretend
I can sleep till it all ends
So can you wake me when
It's no longer the terrible tens?
