As a point of conversation, he was referencing relation

From the corner he came from, the company he'd keep

She was sick and she was lost

 A                                       D
Searching for an answer, rebels with a cause

Doing what they do to get what they need

Life was cheap, there were no guarantees

Dead end kids you can take 'em you can leave 'em

They were wretched they were raw, they were tough and they were mean

Looking for a chance from someone who believed

Remember what you see ain't what always what it seems

    D                                           G
So give a kid hand, lift him up and dust him off

C                                     D
Many will stumble others will be lost

    G
For all who failed so many would succeed

          D               
Don't be angry at the kids, be angry at the greed
D [Chorus 2]
