It Takes a Village
Dave Clark, James Atkins, John Klempay, Kennith Whitt, Mark Young
Breath held until the sunrise
Columns of smoke have no silver line
Gunfire lullaby
Trumpeting through the streets
Children desensitized to mourning
Violence forge their mind
Desperation guide their hand
Leave any bright future behind
In a cycle certain to repeat again
Chalk lines cross
But they pay no mind
As they hop through a victims outline
It takes a village
To create a villain
That's just the cold cruel world we live in
Corruption deemed fit to quarantine
Tempted by warped opportunities
But who could blame survival mentality
It takes a village
To create a villain
That's just the cold cruel world we live in
Innocent ones
Ignorant of what they'll become
Won't be long till they swallow the sun
