All Around the Town

Oh we all know someone
 Who's infected by the pain
 Guns, drugs and violence
 They all do much the same
 If they go fatal and faction keeps on spreading
 Travelling over the town
 Open your eyes, take a look around
 Tell me what you find
 I find it hard to read the paper
 Nightmares becoming real
 Young people are dying their parents are crying
 Some parents don't understand
 Oh all around the town
 And the shots get fired and another man's down
 All around the town
 And a knife gets pulled and another child's down
 All around the town
 And the parents weep and their tears stay drowned
 All around the town
 A young paddy's lowered in to the ground
 They stand alone and then they see how clueless
 Waiting fight they can possibly win
 For denies and unequipped
 They prepare for a leader shift
 Why do they seem as the bodies and no
 Shaking their head and standing there like fool
 That's half the problems
 Because they are victim fools
 We have armed police standing on our streets
 Our people can't comprehend
 It's a reassurance a self assurance
 What choices do we have today
 And the people in power are up on the rise
 To see what they have done
 With the marginalization cultural deprivation
 Prevention is better than cure
 Building concrete cascades of urban jungles
 You get no one away
 Oh all around the town
 And the shots get fired and another man's down
 All around the town
 And a knife gets pulled and another child's down
 All around the town
 And the parents weep and their tears stay drowned
 All around the town
 A young paddy's lowered in to the ground
 The devil makes work for idle hands
 People still wonder why so many fans
 Are banning generations destroying the nation
 I can barely watch cause it hurts
 And as the virus gets closer to your door
 You prevent your neighbour your son no more
 And you feel it like a mist as it greets the streets
 Sirens there in your heart it meets
 Bullets wiz through the night
 And all my childhood home 'till night
 Oh all around the town
 And the shots get fired and another man's down
 All around the town
 And a knife gets pulled and another child's down
 All around the town
 And the parents weep and their tears stay drowned
 All around the town
 A young paddy's lowered in to the ground
 Oh all around the town
 And the shots get fired and another man's down
 All around the town
 And a knife gets pulled and another child's down
 All around the town
 And the parents weep and their tears stay drowned
 All around the town
 A young paddy's lowered in to the ground
