Urban Wild West

Back in high school everything was a mess kids in different cliques, in all types of dress and everyday a fight to see who's the best and gun threats with kids having gats in there vests. Teachers not caring about the education of generation x didn't believe in the future or us or what's coming next just in it long enough so they can cash there checks as they push the kids along, uneducated or not along with the rest. Security guards check your i.d. to make sure you were where your supposed to be But now isn't it so easy to make a fake pass, doesn't anyone see? so now kids are laying in pools of blood and agony they say it's safe but schools still very uneasy. School today's like the wild west Everyone's fighting, lots of unrest And every body's just trying to fit in But some are lost right from the beginning. School today's like the wild wild west Everyone's wearing a bullet proof vest Scared to go to school because of the threats Afraid as hell as to what happens next. There's no smiles as you pass by in the hallway because one false move can make the wrong person angry everyone seems to be dealing with there own hate nobody wants to deal with a lonely fate so much on everyone's plate and the angst just unable to escape so when he or she snaps and is in bad shape everyone runs for cover before it's to late. Im not out to scare you far from it but it's time other take notice of it before more innocent kids die from this because a child who cries for help gets none of it a tiny scream inside, the anger that they hide they always answer with a pistol by there side and it's up to us to find another way so those kids who go to school can live another day. School today's like the wild west Everyone's fighting, lots of unrest And every body's just trying to fit in But some are lost right from the beginning. School today's like the wild wild west Everyone's wearing a bullet proof vest Scared to go to school because of the threats Afraid as hell as to what happens next.
