Knockout Theory Could Be Worse
When a man wakes up on a city street with a can begging for your change
You gotta step yourself back and reprioritize this lifestyle that you've gained
When a girl wakes up on a boulevard and wonders who the hell shot her dad?
Well I would think twice before I open my mouth and complain that the traffic is bad
These are the days where we determine who we are (hey hey)
These are the days we show our true colors
So shut your mouth, you can take it
You got your foot so far up your f..cking ass that you can't
pick up the pieces and face it
You got no idea what it's like to fear
Cause the lives we lead, addicted to the paths we roam
Inflicted with the things we know, we turn the other cheek
Don't wanna hear it, don't wanna hear it
Give us time to grow, eventually all walls fall
and crumble at the wayside
It could be a lot worse, we could have it much worse
Well living day by day off the government ain't enough to compensate
for the shame and the pain that these people face from the unemployment rate
We could take this on our own, why should we give a shit
We aren't human beings, just washed up hypocrites
This is the state of broken homes, misguided youth
A state of violence and abuse
So shut your mouth, you can take it
You got your foot so far up your f..cking ass that you can't
pick up the pieces and face it
You got no idea what it's like to fear
Cause the lives we lead, addicted to the paths we roam
Inflicted with the things we know, we turn the other cheek
Don't wanna hear it, don't wanna hear it
Give us time to grow, eventually all walls fall
and crumble at the wayside
It could be a lot worse, we could have it much worse (it could be a lot worse)
This isn't life! This is abomination!
Ignoring those in need for personal fixation
So yell out (Yell Out!) and speak up for the silent
Cause this shit is gonna end, I said this shit is gonna end
So shut your mouth, you can take it
We could be a lot worse, we could have it much worse
