[00:24.69]I can’t be compromising in my thoughts no more
[00:32.13]I can’t prevent the times my anger fills my heart
[00:39.95]I can’t be sympathizing with a new lost cause
[00:47.54]I feel I’ve lost my patience with the world and all
[01:02.28]And all the politicians and their hollow promises
[01:09.33]And all their lies, deceit and shame that goes with it
[01:16.42]The working man pays everything for their mistakes
[01:23.54]And with his life too if there was to be a war
[01:34.80]So we only get one chance can we take it
[01:42.58]And we only get one life can’t exchange it
[01:49.67]Can we hold on to what we have don’t replace it
[01:57.22]The age of innocence is fading, like an old dream
[02:10.63]A life of petty crime gets punished with a holiday
[02:17.42]The victim’s minds are scarred for life most everyday
[02:24.42]Assailants know just how much further they can go
[02:31.39]They know the laws are soft, conviction chances low
[02:42.31]So we only get one chance can we take it
[02:49.63]And we only get one life can’t exchange it
[02:56.67]Can we hold on to what we have don’t replace it
[03:04.35]The age of innocence is fading, like an old dream
[04:11.72]You can’t protect yourself even in your own home
[04:15.32]For fear of vigilante cries the victims wipe their eyes
[04:18.69]So now the criminals they laugh right in your face
[04:22.09]Judicial system lets them do it, a disgrace
[04:25.71]Despondent public worries where it all will end
[04:32.63]We can’t protect ourselves our kids from crime the trend
[04:39.96]We cannot warn each other of evil in our midst
[04:47.07]They have more rights than us, you cannot call that just
[04:58.79]So we only get one chance can we take it
[05:04.72]And we only get one life can’t exchange it
[05:12.38]Can we hold on to what we have don’t replace it
[05:19.28]The age of innocence is fading, like an old dream
[05:52.06]The age of innocence is fading like an old dream
