Heartbeat

(album: Whitey Ford's House Of Pain - 2018)

Down on the corner, around the way
Kids get murdered everyday
Everyday
Never on the hill, where the rich folks live
Ain't too many people with fucks to give
No fucks to give
Police shoot a young man dead in his prime
[?] happens here all of the time
All of the time
Shorty goes to school with daddy's gun
Walks into class, shoots everyone
Everyone

World's just a heartbeat
Looking for a heart
World's just a heartbeat
Looking for a heart
World's just a heartbeat
Looking for a heart
World's just a heartbeat

The tension's so thick, you could cut the air
And all we could do is just sit and stare
Sit and stare
A room full of people and I'm all alone
Counting all them days 'til I get home
'Til I get home
Stay a little high to numb the pain
Just like my pops, will I break the chain
Break the chain
Liquor on my breath, bloodshot eyes
Trying to cheat death, see a new sunrise
New sunrise

World's just a heartbeat
Looking for a heart
World's just a heartbeat
Looking for a heart
World's just a heartbeat
Looking for a heart
World's just a heartbeat
Looking for a heart

Down on the corner, around the way
Kids get murdered everyday
