Michael Rawlings - Rock Bottom Lyrics

There's a problem on Main Street
Everybody knows
We don't give it priority
On and on that problem goes

It's the problem with society
All our values erode
When love can't save the family
There's nowhere else to go

Oh, we've hit rock bottom
Lord, I hope

There's a problem in the schoolyard
The swings don't swing no more
All the schools are on lockdown
And there's someone in the halls

The police are on standby
Until the orders come
The children need saving
But the saving never comes

Oh, we've hit rock bottom
Lord, I hope

There's a problem at the doctor's
Everybody's ill
The cure has gotten easy
A pocket full of pills

The Narcan's given freely
And yes, it saves a few
But by 2 a.m. the next day
It's Narcan 22

Oh, we've hit rock bottom
Lord, I hope

There's a situation overseas
Where the bombs freely fall
Sanctioned by a government
About to lose it all

As the people lose their faith
In the sentences of man
Who extinguishes a whole race
To achieve his master plan

Oh, we've hit rock bottom
Lord, I hope

There's a problem in some of us
The others do not know
Torturous in every way
Until that final blow

It's exacerbated by the pain
Shoved down our throats
The fake bliss we see every day
Never truly shows

That we've hit rock bottom
Lord, I hope

There's a problem up in D.C
That's where the money flows
Behind the guise of charity
So the people do not know

We elect the politicians
For what seems like their life
To fix the poor decisions
They're the ones that sign

Oh, we've hit rock bottom
Lord, I hope
