Lagwagon - Tragic Vision Lyrics
In this faltering nationthe future belongsto the children in schoolThere's something wrongSixth grader on crackHandgun overflowing in his handsNow he is just further demandWe search for the sourceand still that child is left watchingInhumanity, bloodshedas the tele-violence feeds his headChorus:Only if he knewthe consequence of greedA contious state of mindT.V. is not realityNever a victim the role model saidBang bang, the bad guy is deadAlways a rockstar on eMpty T.V.The lesson completeNow the child has needsOf competition they bleedOh beautiful for bills of greenNevermind spacious skies overheadBleed the earth and butter your bread(Repead Chorus)Chils turns on T.V.What dose he see?Nature of man, dishonestyThat child grows oldStory be toldas he sits behind barsand his soul grows cold
