Wake up America, I got a problem Something you may not believe There is poison in the darkness Spreading like a bad disease I never thought I'd find myself in this condition Sitting by while children die from their addictions I'm just a small town, I have no tongue to speak I have no arms to hold them While they're dying in my streets So I have to wonder, does anybody care Lord is there any hope out there Wake up America, I got a problem Venom flowing through my veins I see families torn to pieces By crystal meth and crack cocaine Some of those swore to provide us with protection Just turn their backs and cut a deal with the infection All those years I gave them peaceful sanctuary Now I'm a graveyard, where the innocent are buried Lord, is there any hope out there Oh, is there any hope out there Wake up America, I got a problem I got a problem It's like venom flowing through my veins
