Paul Jackson, Jr. - Shoulda Known Better lyrics

[Verse 1] A baby girl without a home Tragedy's reign left her alone I guess I shoulda known better But she's a citizen of the world A right to life her cry's unheard I guess I shoulda known better Why why why why [Chrous] Part of the revolution Ready for real solutions We won't accept excuses We tolerate no abuses Cause I don't want my face to be That poster child for being naive Why why why why I guess I shoulda known better [Verse 2] Headlines are real or just the news Between the lines there's human truth I guess I shoulda known better Each day I'm faced with irony but Just can't feel casual about casualties no I guess I shoulda known better I guess I shoulda known better Why why why why [Chorus] Part of the revolution Ready for real solutions We won't accept excuses We tolerate no abuses Cause I don't want my face to be That poster child for being naive Why why why why I guess I shoulda known better [Bridge] It's never the critic that counts Cause critics only wanna talk While enlightened minds and open hearts Together make this world a better place [Verse 3] Awakening a better choice It only starts if you lift your voice And say I shoulda known better And so next time I'll know better Why why why why [Chrous] Part of the revolution Ready for real solutions We won't accept excuses We tolerate no abuses Cause I don't want my face to be That poster child for being naive Why why why why I guess I shoulda known better Why why why why I guess I shoulda known better [Verse 4] I had this great epiphany And rhythm nation was the dream I guess next time I'll know better
