Tonight, someone is out on the streets People throw copper coins at their feet They just wanna be acknowledged as more than a bum They just wanna finish their lives where they had begun Tonight, a teenage girl has been used She runs home, only to be abused She just wants some respect from the people around her She just wants the happiness that she deserves Tonight, a foolish boy has taken cocaine He doesn’t know how much but he’s in all kinds of strain He tries to phone for help but this strain's made him weak A voice answers but no, he's too weak to speak Tonight, someone’s writing a long note Explaining’ just why they slit their own throat How they were picked on a bullied til their death He writes, “I love you mum” as he takes his last breath Tonight, someone’s said I’ve had enough And they’ve taken back all of their love If only they had it in the first place They wouldn’t have huge scars on their face In the morning...who knows? A hangover of the night's shadows The morning sun seems to glow Is there hope?...who knows?
