Where Have All The Fairytales Gone?

Everybody wishing for better days
But the village just doesn't change
And the kids create early graves
Because they don't know which way
Their dreams seem so far away
And the fact that you can be killed in a field brings much dismay
How is it that
Cops are known as heroes even though they shot my brothers down
Big bad wolf is everywhere. These predators be on a prowl
Falling down the rabbit hole amazed by this wonderland
Only to wake up to harsh winters in Chicago man
Fairytales was my life as a kid
Cartoons depicted life much simpler than this
So Hey
How do you explain that it's not the same
What's your method for how you block the pain
Fairytales was my life as a kid
Cartoons depicted life much simpler than this
So Hey
How do you explain that it's not the same
What's your method for how you block the pain
After my loss of innocence,
I truly lost the benefit
Of reading these stories portraying these characters that don't relate to my heritage
Don't you find it damaging
A question about who the fairest is
Look in the mirror find natural born winners. You're beauty is not deemed irrelevant
Well the hidden story really is
the growing pains of these little kids
Forced to grow up and be mentally tough
Depending on what type of hood you in
So trust me I do understand the fascination with Peter Pan
Kids rather be in Neverland than to be here in the devil's land
But being a runaway just doesn't work
There's no escape from a problem the kids have to face when their growing up
I see my reflection in them because I was confused by the way the world works
There's no protection so I'm a correct it by starting a heaven on earth
Absolving all issues like
Cops are known as heroes even though they shot my brothers down
Big bad wolf is everywhere. These predators be on a prowl
Falling down the rabbit hole amazed by this wonderland
Only to wake up to harsh winters in Chicago man
Fairytales was my life as a kid
Cartoons depicted life much simpler than this
So Hey
How do you explain that it's not the same
What's your method for how you block the pain
Fairytales was my life as a kid

To every parent listening
Guide the youth believe in them
Show them there's a world where their dreams can live
An atmosphere truly worth teaching in
No pollution only clean air let's breathe again
For every child that is listening
Don't lose you light amongst the wilderness
It's easy to get lost amongst our differences
But standing united we can prove to be a factor
Create our own real life happily ever after
That's love
