Lyrics

Sufferers cry, say the youth-man a cry
In this time of revelation the youth-man not gon' stand this depression (depression)
You made them what they are through your systematical oppression (oppression)
Like a pack of hungry wolves seeks an innocent prey (hungry pack of wolves)
Someone else goin' have to suffer, someone will have to pay
Yet you're sittin' on false pretense (false pretense, whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo)
Wagin' wars, crimes and violence (crimes and violence, whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo)
Yet you're sittin' over there under your false pretense (under your false pretense, whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo)
Livin' so nice off the sufferers expense
In this time of revelation the younger generation not gon' stand this depression (depression)
You made them what they are through your systematical depression (depression)
Like a hungry pack of wolves seeks an innocent prey (hungry pack of wolves)
Someone else will have to suffer, someone will have to pay
Yet you're sittin' on false pretense (false pretense, whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo)
Wagin' wars, crimes and violence (crimes and violence, whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo)
Yet you're sittin' over there under your false pretense (under your false pretense, whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo)
Livin' so nice off the sufferers expense
Depends upon the consequence that he faces (consequence he faces)
Findin' his bread will be in desolate places (consequence he faces)
Whether he loot (loot), shoot (shoot) or he steal (steal)
Findin' he-self another meal
Yet you're sittin' on your false pretense (false pretense, whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo)
Livin' so nice off the sufferers expense (sufferers expense, whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo)
You are livin' through your past
Why try to 'liminate their future
'Cause the children of today (children of today-ay-ay-ay) gonna be the man of tomorrow (man of tomorrow-ow-ow-ow)
Sufferation, tribulation, the younger generation (whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo)
Starvation, what a dreadful situation (whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo)
Sufferers cry, it's a sufferers cry (children of today)
Say the youths them are cryin', It's a sufferers cry
