Losing Ground
The sidewalks of the city are not the place to be tonight
A figure looms in shadows waiting for an easy prey
The silence of the evening is shattered by a gunshot's ring
The echo of fleeing footsteps fades into the siren's scream
We live from day to day waiting for the axe to fall
How in the world did it get this way? Can't take it anymore
It's time to make a stand and take back where we're losing ground
If we don't fix this thing now, there will just be more and more
A girl plays in the playground, not a care in this world
A predator in the bathroom can't take his eye away
A master manipulator he lures her to a waiting van
"He was such a quiet man" that's what the neighbors'll say
We live from day to day waiting for the axe to fall
How in the world did it get this way? Can't take it anymore
It's time to make a stand and take back where we're losing ground
If we don't fix this thing now, there will just be more and more
A young man and his girlfriend standing near a quiet brook
He's waiting for the moment to ask her for her hand
But for a 20-dollar bill their lives a robber took
Another victim of violence, how many has that been today?
We live from day to day waiting for the axe to fall
How in the world did it get this way? Can't take it anymore
It's time to make a stand and take back where we're losing ground
If we don't fix this thing now, there will just be more and more
We live from day to day waiting for the axe to fall
How in the world did it get this way? Can't take it anymore
It's time to make a stand and take back where we're losing ground
If we don't fix this thing now, there will just be more and more
A figure looms in shadows waiting for an easy prey
The silence of the evening is shattered by a gunshot's ring
The echo of fleeing footsteps fades into the siren's scream
We live from day to day waiting for the axe to fall
How in the world did it get this way? Can't take it anymore
It's time to make a stand and take back where we're losing ground
If we don't fix this thing now, there will just be more and more
A girl plays in the playground, not a care in this world
A predator in the bathroom can't take his eye away
A master manipulator he lures her to a waiting van
"He was such a quiet man" that's what the neighbors'll say
We live from day to day waiting for the axe to fall
How in the world did it get this way? Can't take it anymore
It's time to make a stand and take back where we're losing ground
If we don't fix this thing now, there will just be more and more
A young man and his girlfriend standing near a quiet brook
He's waiting for the moment to ask her for her hand
But for a 20-dollar bill their lives a robber took
Another victim of violence, how many has that been today?
We live from day to day waiting for the axe to fall
How in the world did it get this way? Can't take it anymore
It's time to make a stand and take back where we're losing ground
If we don't fix this thing now, there will just be more and more
We live from day to day waiting for the axe to fall
How in the world did it get this way? Can't take it anymore
It's time to make a stand and take back where we're losing ground
If we don't fix this thing now, there will just be more and more
