Babylon Video (MV)

My eyes hurt from the perils
I've seen today
They're making my body want to
Be wide awake
My heart feels only sorrow
For those in pain
I need a narcotic to push it all away

Being numb in a time like now helps keep me in a state where I'm
Held together by little ropes of withered string
I'd seen a date rape story about a girl who's far from the legal age and the
Sleaze bag who raped her was not charged a single thing

He saw a way to dodge the heat
He didn't hesitate or fumble his feet
Now a non-convicted man forever roams the streets
I heard some news of a boy who's out to be the next
Celebrity with talents too much to say
He's got tricks hidden up his sleeve
Suddenly he's got a lot of family
And his riches find their minds full of greed
He's got a dad who isn't sh*t
He wants his money and all of it
He's trying to fit in shoes that just don't fit

The father took away all his pay and spent it all within a day
Why did the judge ever give away that little babe
A low-life dad came back and chose his fate
Now he's suffering from bitter hate
The boy never got the chance to do anything, go do anything, go do anything great

They never had to pay
They never had to pay
They never had to pay
