Cover it Up

 

It’s the same old story it’s the same old line

Troubled youth gets shot and dies

The difference is I’ve seen his face

We were childhood friends we were lost in space

 

Cover it up, kick it under the rug

Out of site is out of my mind

 

School yard chums we liked the same girl

16th Street was our only world

And Daddy’s down at the bar

Every night

 

Cover it up, kick it under the rug

Stick your head in the sand my love

 

Well we all lose all our innocence

Tony has lost his sense

Killing people left and right

The wheels have turned on him tonight

 

These funked up times flow like wine

Another star in the headlines

It’s hard to keep my heroes

In line

 

Cover it up, kick it under the rug

Haven’t we learned one think my son
