Lyrics
Children of the world, are you listening?
Theres a wicked sickness going 'round
and if you let it get into your bloodstream
turn your whole life upside down
Now theres a man down on the corner,
dealin poison by the bag.
He'll sell you a dream and you'll smile for a while
and from than on your lifes a drag
CHORUS:
Give it up, turn it loose, theres no future
Give it up, turn it loose, theres no future
Give it up, turn it loose, theres no future
Give it up, turn it loose, theres no future in drug abuse
Preachers and Teachers, are you listening?
'cause you been talking just a little to fast
giving out your sermons and your lessons
but the students just keep nodding in class
CHORUS:
Give it up, turn it loose, theres no future
Give it up, turn it loose, theres no future
Give it up, turn it loose, theres no future
Give it up, turn it loose, theres no future in drug abuse
Oh Mothers and Fathers are you listening?
You've got a duty to your kids you can't ignore
You got to sit on down and tell'em
what the man is gonna sell'em
If the apples turning rotten.....you're the core
CHORUS:
Give it up, turn it loose, theres no future
Give it up, turn it loose, theres no future
Give it up, turn it loose, theres no future
Give it up, turn it loose, theres no future in drug abuse
