Enough Is Enough

WHEN IS IT ENOUGH
WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH
MAKE UP TO COVER YOUR BLACK EYES

WHEN IS IT ENOUGH
WHEN YOU MISS ANOTHER FAMILY GATHERING BECAUSE
YOU HAD TO MANY BRUISES YOU JUST
COULDN'T COVER UP

WHEN IS IT ENOUGH
WHEN YOUR LOVED ONES ARE
SAYING GOODBYE TO YOU
AT YOUR FURNERAL

IS THAT WHEN IT'S ENOUGH
