there's a battle raging on the streets of new york a gun isn't very hard to find we will be killed by our own hand if we can't liberate our minds i see a new born child rest by their mother's side and i see the look upon her face she knows her child's innocence will be denied i red the paper and saw the news some kids were killed at their school two didn't take their vitamins but knew society was the fool the cut will bleed when you remember it will bleed more when you forget so look upon that child's face there's a point you can't quite get there's a battle raging on the streets of montreal violent rioters have forgotten the cause people are hurt for no reason at all they have no respect for the law our voice of reason is being drowned out by the choas that we create how can you stand upon our shoulders and say it's just a mistake upon broken glass a life is lost more victims aren't far behind you draw my very soul's demise when you draw that chalk line the cut will bleed when you remember it will bleed more when you forget a tear is shed for an unknown solider we're gambling our lives on this bet there's a battle raging on the streets of iraq saddam's not playing by the rules there's no destruction like that of mankind to turn a blind eye we are the fools i see an individual group ahead but not an individual stands among them conforming to popular demand creates the things we condem there's a battle raging in the hearts of all the lives on this land divided we fall among the shadows although united we still can't quite stand join hands and come back from that ledge we all are one in the same we're different but have in common the responsiblity of the blame the cut will bleed when you remember it will bleed more when you forget the last chapter remains unwritten the future is not quite set the cut will bleed when you remember it will bleed more when you forget don't ever forget
Reason for writing:

important to me so i would greatly appreciate any comments

see what you think.. thank you..
