Some kids only sweet sixteen They think they're really tough You could give them everything It wouldn't be enough Mothers crying all alone What did I do wrong? Raising up a family You've got to be so strong After the love is gone how can we carry on After the love is gone how can we carry on Father is a broken man He drinks just to forget Searching for the higher ground But he ain't found it yet Every day just like the last Poverty and lust So hateful of the richer man Because he ain't like us After the love is gone how can we carry on After the love is gone what used to be right is wrong Like walking into a storm Strangled by religion Those that still believe When you don't have nothing The Lord he will relieve Television lifestyles People come on down Welcome to the future Your feet won't touch the ground
