He learnt too young that a poor man's son Is destined to be forgotten And when his sister asks why he sits and cries He says wait till you're grown And as the people look around Clawing to a higher ground He asks mama how's this fair Now he starts work young as he's his father's son And he's determined to make a change But he reads online about the growing divide And he feels he feels the knife And all along as he was told Find a job get married grow old But don't you wonder too far away We're self-destructive Running up and down the block kids Told stay inside the walls Stay enclosed Burn down the front line Fires coming in from all sides Go break down the walls Break forth Now he tries to run but the journey is rough When glass glitters the streets His feet get cut as empathy shuts Kindness turns callous for dreams And as he heals and learns to feel Empty alone where's the boy we know He's somewhere out there still We're self-destructive Running up and down the block kids Told stay inside the walls Stay enclosed Burn down the front line Fires coming in from all sides Go break down the walls Break forth He's got to get out now Before the gates lock to the town With broken bones He'll reach for gold We're self-destructive Running up and down the block kids Told stay inside the walls Stay enclosed Burn down the front line Fires coming in from all sides Go break down the walls Break forth
