Lyrics

Expendable Youth

Gun down cold on a raw deal Home turf, my battlefield In no one's way, caught in a crossfire Stray bullets can kill Expendable youth fighting for possession Having control, our principle obsession Rivalry and retribution Death the only solution Injured soul on the hard ground Head blown off face down Lying in a pool of blood An accidental death homicide Expendable youth fighting for possession Having control, our principle obsession Rivalry and retribution Death the only solution Struggling to survive in this drug induced warfare Having control, our principle obsession Expendable youth fighting for possession Violence is only a friend Expendable youth fighting for possession Having control, our principle obsession Rivalry and retribution Death the only solution
