lyrics

You,
you never had a chance.
They set you up for failure,
they set you up to fail.

You,
you cried when you saw your momma cry,
while your father he won't be back for a while.

Does it hurt,
when the razors roll through your skin?
You are just a kid and oh boy
you've got so much life to live.

And how is it fair that I might live a happy life,
While you are still trying to fight,
the demons that you hear in your head at night?
Something's not right,
something's not right.

You,
you never had a chance.
Well they said that by the time you turn my age you'll be in jail.
And no one would care for you,
no one would care for you,
no one at all,
no one at all.

And how is it fair that I might live a happy life,
while you are still trying to fight,
the demons that you hear in your head at night?
Something's not right,
something's not right,
something's not right,
something's not right.
