Take a step back / look through different eyes / people in pain / no shelter from the storm dealt a bad hand / nothing more nothing less / all the struggle makes a life in distress
Chorus: Can't shut out the faces / I hear the cries / victimes of circumstance fighting to survive / but all you want is more / nothing satisfies / don't forget those just scraping by
Take a step back / look through different eyes / the plight of others never on your mind dealt a band hand nothing more nothing less / all the pain makes a life in distress
Repeat Chorus
One thing to acknowledge / another to ignore / families living in the streets frozen to the core beaten and tired / desperate and weak / building touch the sky where the vultures meet making rotten agendas / planning their moves / power hungry vermin holding back the truth coming at you strong / coming at you fast / paving the way for their cycle to last
Repeat Chorus
Never given a shot / only knowing desperation / looking for an escape / a way out of hell insanity sets in / we question why / how did we end up this way? / how can we justify? those with nothing and those on top / pushing for power / some survive some drop you it is luck of the draw / aroll of the dice / the hand of misfortune can't be denied
