Bm
All the little kids left running in the street
F#m
They'll find the lonely side of life
Bm
Alone in time they'll find
F#m
There's a soul inside that's blind
Bm
All the little kids left running in the street
F#m
They'll find the lonely side of life
Bm
Alone in time they'll find
F#m
There's a soul inside that's blind
[Verse 1]
Bm F#m Bm
Hunger, poverty was something this young boy was never meant to see
F#m
So how's he living free?
Bm F#m Bm
Brothers, mothers, fathers, sisters dying in the heat so helplessly
F#m
Now what's he meant to be?
Bm F#m Bm
TV cameras, news photography portray this boy as something mean
F#m
Down in New Orleans
Bm F#m
But this young boy just needs something quick to eat
Bm
That's why he's doing robberies
F#m
Out in the street
[Chorus]
Bm
All the little kids left running in the street
F#m
They'll find the lonely side of life
Bm
Alone in time they'll find
F#m
There's a soul inside that's blind

All the little kids left running in the street
F#m
They'll find the lonely side of life

Alone in time they'll find
F#m
There's a soul inside that's blind
[Verse 2]
Bm
No wonder we're called the dying youth
The dying age and it's the truth
F#m
Jealousy and greed just pollute
Bm
And no one seems to help or dilute
The situation
F#m
Just point the blame
Bm
We're the ones withering away
F#m
And killing each other every day
Bm
Living our lives for the change
Bm Bm F#m
But all we seem to see is crime and AIDS
F#m F#m Bm
And all we seem to see is life just wasted
Bm Bm
I feeling jaded
F#m F#m F#m Bm
Silent pain, but smiles in people's faces
Smiles in people's faces
F#m
Inside they hide it, inside they chase it
Bm
Our minds, our souls
F#m Bm
It's the youngest that are growing in this war-ridden world
F#m
Yet they're the ones sitting in unheard
Bm
Their words are falling on deaf ears
F#m Bm
Life just wasted, feeling jaded
Silent pain, but smiles in people's faces
[Chorus]
Bm
All the little kids left running in the street
F#m
They'll find the lonely side of life
Bm
Alone in time they'll find
F#m
There's a soul inside that's blind
Bm
All the little kids left running in the street
F#m
They'll find the lonely side of life
Bm
Alone in time they'll find
F#m
There's a soul inside that's blind
[Chorus]
(One stroke)
Bm
All the little kids left running in the street
F#m
They'll find the lonely side of life
Bm
Alone in time they'll find
F#m
There's a soul inside that's blind
Bm
All the little kids left running in the street
F#m
They'll find the lonely side of life
Bm
Alone in time they'll find
F#m
There's a soul inside that's blind
