Before 18

Before 18 Is not funny any more This crisis never end In the third worlds Every four years is same story In different ways in Africa Brothers and sisters dying Every corner of the world Is never a breaking news Please show me the boss Show me hiso office He needs to see how The young dreams are a nightmare Before 18 Is not funny any more Cos I was told that the youths Are the great future of tommorow Oh God could this be the biggest lie I ever had to know How ignorance and silence To our needs Becomes the out cry of every youth As young as we are From our early age We are never far from abuse Before 18 Before 18 Please I tell you Is not funny any more How this life of the third words Is like a hell and a torture Why must we always dwell on Same brutality Always trigger my spirit To pull light in to darkness Our life are always on same story Our men are most commoner Our women sexualities Are not with moral no more Our young women at teenage age Are already enslaved to sex by poverty That make me more crazy In a dying world Cos at our early age In the third worlds It difficult never to be abused Before 18
