“Wrong Side of Life” (Michael Dane Hager and Johnny Smith)

`The Clock radio was blasting the news

About angry kids from an American town something about guns and taking revenge

And how they were going to bring him down

Everyone’s asking how this could happen here

While the families of the victims are

Consoling each other in their tears

The news cameras are jamming the streets

Trying to capture the story for a last minute beat

Off in the distance the sirens ring

Carrying the children off, from the deadly deed

The people in the cafes can’t believe their fate

While the mourners stand in the

Asking Questions that come way too late

I woke up this morning on the wrong side of live

My dreams exploding right before my eyes

The world is closing in way too tight

I woke up this morning on the wrong side of live

Everyone’s looking for who’s to blame

While the politician plays the same old game

They say it’s the parents for losing track,

They need to hold down their heads in shame

They say it’s got to be the teachers in the school

We got to keep the kids in check

I think we’ve all lost track of the golden rule

We’ve all seen the tragedy before

But somehow what’s different

We just keep closing the door

You think we would learn our lesson by now

It happens everyday and were losing score

You better all join in on this fight

Or well end up with a future that’s

Darker than a cold winters night

I woke up this morning on the wrong side of live

My dreams exploding right before my eyes

The world is closing in way too tight

I woke up this morning

I woke up this morning on the wrong side of live

My dreams exploding right before my eyes

The world is closing in way too tight

I woke up this morning

I woke up this morning on the wrong side of live

My dreams exploding right before my eyes

The world is closing in way too tight

I woke up this morning on the wrong side of live

Teach your children what’s right so they don’t wake up on the wrong side of life

On the wrong side of life
