How brutal todays youth seem br Uncaring, lost without hope and dreams br Who is to blame? br Give me a name. br The fault belongs to us as parents and mentors br We left them alone and closed the doors br We ignored their pleas for help br Now look at the results br We gave no direction br We left them alone with no disciplin br Selfish were we when they needed us. br Give them some money open the door and then push. br We never heard them cry br We never gave them the love they needed to grow in life. br We failed the generation today br We are paying the price for letting them stray. br They feel no pain. br Violence breaths heavy in their games. br They have no compassion br No imagination or passion.
