Sick Of It All

Album:

Based on a True Story

It was the usual crowd growing up
All good, all bad, ALL UGLY
They were like brothers 'cause we all felt the same
The future tore them away


Born with our senses keen - HOPE AND FEAR
With a sense of danger and demise
The world will numb everything - HOPE AND FEAR
A negative discipline, a vacuum


What evil force dragged them down?
What demon singled them out?
What evil took them away?
Allowing only two choices


So tell me 
Was there a secret never shared with others?
Was there a hidden trauma?
What made the bonds break?
What caused the mistakes?
Why was the criminal life so desired?


Born with our senses keen - HOPE AND FEAR
With a sense of danger and demise
The world will numb everything - HOPE AND FEAR
A negative discipline, a vacuum


From afar bleak reports trickle in, but 
The world has spread apart, the world has spread apart
All the promise that was held now is wasted
The soul is delicate, the walls have crippled it
From afar troubled lives lose their purpose
The world has given up, the world has given up
The world has finally forsaken its sons


What evil force dragged them down?
What demon singled them out?
What evil took them away?
Allowing only the choice between
DEATH OR JAIL
