Somewhere a 12 year old's having sex for the first time
Back home her mom hopes they're using a condom
Another childhood dies
Part of the future falls away

I am so tired of the hurting, hey
I'm so tired of the denial every day
So tired of hearing, "It's not a problem anyway"

Anyway
There's a little boy
Raised up
On nothing but TV
His mom and dad split up
Because they didn't know enough
About each other before marrying
They thought they were so in love and had a good time
Media said that love was feeling good and making time
They're still looking for love
And their only son
Is bound to rerun their tragedy

I am so tired of the hurt and pain
So tired of the coldness every day
I'm so tired of "Hey baby
When you think I'm gonna get some, anyway?"
Anyway

The shopping malls
And the booty calls
All smell the same to me
Like a quick escape from reality
While the emptiness
That's behind this mess
Keeps feeding the machine
For more details, watch TV

I'm so tired of the hurting, hey
So tired of the indifference every day
I'm so tired of hearing
"It's not our problem anyway."
Any way...well anyway.
