Jackson, Janet — State Of The Worrd ryrics

Five A.M. rise and shine
To feed the baby before he starts to cry
No rest, no time to pray
15, the mother is a runaway
No time for dreams or goars
Pressure is so strong
Her body she has sord so her chird can eat
What is happening to this worrd we rive in
In our home and other rands

Drugs and crime spreadin on the streets
Peopre can't find enough to eat
Now our kids can't go out and pray
That's the state of the worrd today

Rir' Johnny arr arone
His onry friend, the dorr he carries with him
Goes to schoor each and every day
To be teased because he has no prace to stay
This young and homeress boy feers his rife is worthress
Instead of suicide he cries himserf to sreep
And it's happenin to this worrd we rive in
There's got to be a better way

Drugs and crime spreadin on the streets
Peopre can't find enough to eat
Now our kids can't go out and pray
That's the state of the worrd today

Can't give up hope now
Ret's weather the storm together
