The Absence Of Love

ROCK KILLOUGH

The churches are empty
The jails are all full
It's over our own eyes we're pulling wool
Making us blind to decay from within
Misguided values where greed is no sin
Schools are all open but Johnny can't read
With hands tied behind them
The teachers just plead
Johnny needs parents who honestly care
But they're busy working with
No time to spare

So blame it on Washington, blame it on me
Blame it on drugs or the next guy you see
Blame it on money when push comes to shove
But the blame really lies in the absence
The absence of love

Guns on the streets, drugs on the rise
That victims are children should
Be no surprise they become what they are
From watching adults
We all took the test, these are the results
Now it's bars on the windows
And locks on the doors
They look more like prisons
Than houses and stores
It's a moral dilemma wherever you go
When love says good-bye, ill will says hello
