Romeo And Juliet Lyrics - Singles - Happy Campers

Born without a chance in hell 

condemned from the womb 

on a one way trip 

destination: an early tomb 

two kids from the hood 

two numbers on a chart 

she didn't finish high school 

he didn't even start 

mommy got herself pregnant 

to keep him around 

but daddy left anyway 

and she's findin' out what single motherhood is all about 

the statistics are frightening 

hte odds are stifling 

you may not like what you hear 

offspring's of the have nots 

and even less 

a world of anarchy is here 

and we're told we have nothing to fear 

(REPEAT) 

a few years later 

mom and son don't have a place to rest thier head 

while daddy rots in San Quentin 

with free room and bed 

mommy O.D.'s in an empty garbage bin 

and her son's picture's on an empty milk carton 

while the politicians play with thier million dollar toys 

we're losing handfuls of little girls and little boys
