Our Next Generation

Jimmy just wanted to be heard,
Not liked at school not liked at home
Sick of always being alone
Sick of being insulted and all the lying
So he took the pills, now he lays on his floor dying

Christine let people take over her life,
Being pushed around and told what she should do
She listened and ignored the pain as it grew
She decided one night it wasn't worth it and ended her life
Beside her body lay her suicide note along with a bloody knife

Aaron ignored what his heart told him,
Taking drugs just because his friends thought it was cool
Mouthing off to teachers then dropping out of school
But one day he took too much, he didn't know he was dying
But now he sees his mistakes as he looks back to earth to see his family crying

Josh let his father do as he pleased,
Yelling at him and hitting him as hard as he could
He never told anyone even if he knew he should
One day it went a little too far, with the click of a gun
His father shot his own son

Sally just wanted to be happy,
So she ran away from home, her escape
Only led to her horrid rape
He had his pleasure and left her to die
She never got the chance to smile...only to cry

Losing the next generation just as fast as it came
Each child given a life and thrown away just the same
