CRACK IN THE WALL
WORDS AND MUSIC: REGGIE HARRIS AND GREG GREENWAY
Verse:
Nobody noticed but there's trouble in the house next door
things aren't what they seem to be, in that lovely family
a heart full of dreams lies broken on the kitchen floor
simple family argument got a little violent
and it's over before you know it
flames climb high in the middle of the night
voices on the phone...
the neighbors say they never saw the clues
now it's a story on the evening news!
chorus:
Well there's a crack in the wall where we live
something's broken there ain't no doubt
crack in the wall where we live ,something' is getting' out!
Verse:
Nobody noticed 'till her mind went 'tick...tick...BOOM
seemed like such a normal child, moody and a little wild
then she shot five kids in the playground of her local school
didn't have too much to say ,"Monday's not my favorite day!"
and it's over before you know it
flames climb high in the middle of the night
voices on the phone...
how could it happen in a town like this
you'd think the signs would be hard to miss!
chorus:
Well there's a crack in the wall where we live
something's broken there ain't no doubt
crack in the wall where we live ,something' is getting' out!
chorus:
Well there's a crack in the wall where we live
something's broken and it's shaking this house
crack in the wall where we live ,something' is getting' out!
Bridge:
Too many dreams going down the drain
as abuse threatens heart and mind
too many people livin' through the pain that violence leaves behind
a seed gets sown in the soul of a child
as the cycle moves down the line
what's wrong is right until the light shines through the
cracks we can't seem to find!!
and it's over before you know it
flames climb high in the middle of the night
voices on the phone...
the neighbors say they never saw the clues
now we've got pictures on the evening news!
chorus:
Well there's a crack in the wall where we live
something's broken there ain't no doubt
crack in the wall where we live ,something' is getting' out!
chorus:
Well there's a crack in the wall where we live
something's broken and it's shaking this house
crack in the wall where we live ,something' is getting' out!
Coda:
ooo, ooo, ooo we've got cracks in the wall
ooo, ooo, ooo we've got cracks in the wall
ooo, ooo, ooo we've got cracks in the wall
ooo, ooo, ooo we've got cracks in the wall
ooo, ooo, ooo we've got cracks in the wall
ooo, ooo, ooo we've got cracks in the wall
