Every Year

from Unheard Hooks by Kroovy Rookers

lyrics

Here come the kids
all looking for the truth
standing in the shadows
of yesterday's youth
thinking for themselves
they wanna make it on their own
every kid is different
but he shouldn't walk alone

Under the gun from when they're out of school
looking for something
something to do
to keep from the troubles of the poverty line
wanna make the money you've gotta do the time

Every year
every generation
the times they are a changing
and we don't make the rules
every kid in a different situation
so many born to have it all
so many born to lose...

There go the jobs
to the ones who had connections
the ones with education
the ones who played it straight
motivated focused,
they swarm in like locusts
and take all they want
leaving nothing on their plate

And then the others
the rejects, the rockers
the ones who never wanted
more then they could chew
pissed up on the weekend
wishing it would never end
too much to think about
when there's nothing to do

Every year
every generation
the times they are a changing
and we don't make the rules
every kid in a different situation
so many born to have it all
so many born to lose...

Here comes the future
there ain't no place to hide
it's waiting on your doorstep
and underneath your bed...
ain't no way to fake it
we've got to try to make it
this world will rip your roof away
if you can't get ahead

We can rant and rave
that life just isn't fair
but it doesn't make a difference
in a world that doesn't care
we've got too much pride
to fall to far behind
no ones gonna see us fall
we'll take whatever's there
