Decay

DECAY - Written by Carroll Bryant

Sit back and hear a story

About a girl just fifteen years old

Taking off her clothes for the glory

And dancing for some boys who are looking on

Her best friend starts a collection

Of hickeys hiding on her breasts

Is this our teaching of the children?

Are they passing or failing all of the tests?

So, how do you like it so far?

Does it blow your mind away?

Kids being kids but so far

Society rots in its decay 

Mary Jane sits on the table

Cocaine and a glass of wine

Another teenage party on a Saturday night

You know that it happens all the time

So, how do you like it so far?

Do you like the way that we play?

Kids being kids but so far

Society rots in its decay

It's the coming of the age

The gutter of our own decay

We're raising them this way

Welcome to the new decay

It's the mess that we made

It's the truth of our own decay

It's the things that we throw away

Turning our heads to the real decay

So, how do you like it so far?

Are you listening to what I say?

Kids being kids but so far

Society rots in its decay

So, how do you like it so far?

Lead by example all the way

Kids being kids but so far

Society rots in its decay
