The Absence Of Love
The Oak Ridge Boys
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
The churches are empty The jails are all full It's over our own eyes we're pulling wool Making us blind to decay from within Misguided values where greed is no sin Schools are all open but Johnny can't read With hands tied behind them The teachers just plead Johnny needs parents who honestly care But they're busy working with No time to spare So blame it on Washington, blame it on me Blame it on drugs or the next guy you see Blame it on money when push comes to shove But the blame really lies in the absence The absence of love Guns on the streets, drugs on the rise That victims are children should Be no surprise they become what they are From watching adults We all took the test, these are the results Now it's bars on the windows And locks on the doors They look more like prisons Than houses and stores It's a moral dilemma wherever you go When love says good-bye, ill will says hello
