Everyone out there lives to protect their own
They say that we are free but we're locked in our homes
The city drugstore on the White House lawn
Lives been wasted how they've come and gone
Believe me, nobody cares
Friend was shot down on a street near mine
He was a victim of the wrong place & time
Lock your doors & windows from the man outside
Why do we live like this why do we run & hide
Believe me, nobody cares
Let us out of our homes
My hopes and dreams are fading
Let us out of our homes
'Cause I'm still here waiting
Bullets flying out of passing cars
Children crying they won't lose their scars
How long will this game go on before you go
Your number comes up living in a war zone
Believe me, nobody cares
It starts with you & me
Standing tall
No time for closed minds they're gonna end it all
You watch my door man
And I'll watch yours
What happened to the good old days
Like it was before
Believe me, nobody cares
Let us out of our homes
My hopes and dreams are fading
Let us out of our homes
'Cause I'm still here waiting
