I can't be compromising in my thoughts no more. I can't prevent the times my anger fills my heart
I can't be sympathizing with a new lost cause. I feel I've lost my patience with the world and all
And all the politicians and their hollow promises. And all the lies, deciet and shame that goes with it
The working man pays everything for their mistakes. And with his life too if there was to be a war
So we can only get one chance can we take it. And we only got one life can't exchange it
Can we hold on to what we have don't replace it. The age of innocence is fading.......like an old dream
A life of petty crime gets punished with a holiday. The victims' mind are scarred for life most everyday
Assailants know just how much further that can go. They know the laws are soft conviction chances low
So we can only get one chance can we take it. And we only got one life can't exchange it
Can we hold on to what we have don't replace it. The age of innocence is fading.......like an old dream
You can't protect yourselves even in your own home. For fear of vigilante cries the victims wipe their eyes
So now the criminal they launch right in our face. Judical system lets them do it, a disgrace
Despondent public worries where it will all end. We can't protect ourselces our kids from the crime trend
We cannot even warn each other of evil in our midst. They have more rights than us, you cannot call that just
So we can only get one chance can we take it. And we only got one life can't exchange it
Can we hold on to what we have don't replace it. The age of innocence is fading.......like an old dream
