Curtain Call

This ain't a riot It's a little taste of the way we are No peace or quiet 'Till the ceiling breaks and we grade the dark I'm not a child Still, I want safety and as a fact It's being wild But they took the power, take it back Hope and pray in waiting for the curtain call What will we see when the curtain finally falls? It ain't a secret We're all aware of the way it is I know you seen it As I know of the fact of the way we live Oh, aren't you tired? If you didn't choose this, then who did? Where can I find them? I wanna tell them a couple things Ooh, so many stories in the same shape Ooh, how many more of these could we take? Hope and pray in waiting for the curtain call What will we see when the curtain finally falls? Ooh, so many stories of the same fate Ooh, for how much longer could we take this? Hope and pray in waiting for the curtain call Living with this kinda makes no sense at all
