i checked in a room today
|
up above the downtown market bricks
|
right now a boy gets old
|
a boy gets bitter
|
a boy learns not to trust
|
someone inside his room
|
the door locks tight
|
you keep the door locked
|
|
months went by and doors got kicked in
|
two outlaws collecting what they loaned
|
in a room beside my walls
|
a girl gets choked
|
she can't pay back the loan
|
48 more hours to go
|
"48 more hours" that's all they say
|
in two more nights
|
i hear a sound
|
a shrill from one thin wall away
|
|
every place is the same
|
every day is the same
|
every place is the same
|
violent
|
there's a conflicting sound
|
hear the arguments loud
|
everyday, the sounds of the
|
violent violent violent
|
|
i moved uptown a bit
|
not much changed
|
conflict is never gone
|
but just as a calm sets in
|
a police line barricades
|
a place next door i asked
|
around the lot a store
|
clerk told me two young
|
kids were shot mother
|
was near the tracks dragged
|
to where a train would go past
|
