Some kids only sweet sixteen
They think they´re really tough
You could give them everything
It wouldn´t be enough
Mothers crying all alone
What did I do wrong?
Raising up a family
You´ve got to be so strong
After the love is gone
how can we carry on
After the love is gone
how can we carry on
Father is a broken man
He drinks just to forget
Searching for the higher ground
But he ain´t found it yet
Every day just like the last
Poverty and lust
So hateful of the richer man
Because he ain´t like us
After the love is gone
how can we carry on
After the love is gone
what used to be right is wrong
Like walking into a storm
Strangled by religion
Those that still believe
When you don´t have nothing
The Lord he will relieve
Television lifestyles
People come on down
Welcome to the future
Your feet won´t touch the ground
