Rise up and scream
About the way that you've been used
Don't let the children of the future be abused
Well you've watched yourself
And you know where you went wrong
If you can believe
Then you know you can be strong
It's tough to take
To learn from a mistake
So tough to take
It's tough to take.
You look around
And you're amazed at what you see
Children of the streets buying and selling
And giving it away for free
Look down your nose
And cry of inhumanity
Then walk away
And believe you can be free
It's tough to take
To learn from a mistake
So tough to take
It's tough to take.
Just close your eyes
And leave tomorrow for the next generation
Surround yourself in some sorrow of the past
Don't let them in
If you do the pain might last
You are the cause
And the blindness brings me pain
It's tough to take
To learn from a mistake
So tough to take
It's tough to take.
