Oh when the sun goes down Oh when the sun goes down One for the money two for the shows And half for the kid who never made it home Subconscious searching for comfort afraid of being alone Arguing with a elder she telling me to watch my tone A couple months out of high school feeling like I seen it all From white collars to dead bodies after a phone call Was made the pieces fall where the lay A child in a war zone same place I play Same place for a lie same place I pray Black on white on a pallet and don't it look so gray And all the beneficiaries ain't got nothing to say Say say Oh when the sun goes down Oh when the sun goes down
