The Strain lyrics

Artist  : Mordred 
Song : The Strain



 Send "The Strain" Ringtone to your Cell 

 
Into his flesh the knife cuts
Inside he
wants to survive
Surgeons working hard to try
to keep him alive

He's only fourteen years
old
Beside the bed a cop sighs
Don't think
it's fair he's too young to die

Pulse
slows and then his heart quits
Doctor's try to
shock his life back
They're unaware that in the
street he sells crack

Bullet hole through
the kidneys
The man who shot him
understood
If he could turn it round I'm sure
that he would

In times of greed and
hate
One must evaluate
The cause of all
this pain
Social problems stay the
same

In times of greed and hate
One
must retaliate
The truth is never
plain
Understand this is the
strain

Tried to reach society's
standard
Have wealth makes you a good
man
Not in the wrong he just wants to fit in
the plan

Teach our kids of wealth and
power
If you happen to live on the wrong
side
Got to live a life of crime just to keep
you alive

Today morality has
lost
Everyone's reaching for the top
We
can't change the world if a bullet can't be
stopped

In this age we've lost all our
values
And maybe nothing can suffice
If
it's true we'll crush ourselves in a self
destructive vice

In times of greed and
hate
One must evaluate
The cause of all
this pain
Social problems stay the
same

In times of greed and hate
One
must retaliate
The truth is never
plain
Understand this is the strain
