Another Broken Family

They had to tear down the building
They were cookin up the meth
They had to relocated the children
What a damn shame that it is.

They had to take the adults
down to the county jail
they had to take all the children
To a cps kind of hell

Another broken family
Another broken life
Damn I hate this broken world
I wish we could do right

They had a bad deal go wrong
a bad drug deal four people gone
hear the shots come through the walls
and blood everywhere down the halls

they had a drug overdose in the complex
too much herion and too much meth
too many thugs rollin drugs for sale
and it leads to so many deaths
