Where is the time for love, the time for sorrow
Where is the building for a new tomorrow
Where is the time for love, the time for sorrow
Where is the hoping for a new tomorrow

Skillet don't feel any pain
Just the rocket cruising his veins
He's got a handful of hundreds
Arguing about small change

They're gonna tear down the projects soon
Grandma's gonna get relocation
He's gonna talk her out of it
And have a party

Where is the time for love, the time for sorrow
Where is the building for a new tomorrow
Where is the time for love, the time for sorrow
Where is the hoping for a new tomorrow

Everywhere he goes
Everybody knows Keso's in trouble
Wears it like his Blood brand
Who's gonna trust him, give him a jo

Parents died when he was eight
Got a warrant for assault
Hopped a freight to San Francisco
I think it may be too late

Where is the time for love, the time for sorrow
Where is the building for a new tomorrow
Where is the time for love, the time for sorrow
Where is the hoping for a new tomorrow

Freddy got sent home again
Stabbed another boy with his pen
School district's run out of tricks
And he's only six

Case worker says, "time for a bath"
But he's waiting for his momma to call
She might remember
If it weren't for the cocaine and alcohol

The mother's moving out of the state
Taking along his little sister
Leaving Fred in the foster home
Says she can't handle him

Where is the time for love, the time for sorrow
Where is the building for a new tomorrow
Where is the time for love, the time for sorrow
Where is the hoping for a new tomorrow
