We all sit around,
Verse 1
C#m
Kids from the system,
E
the same kids from the system
C#m
E
That you said wouldn't listen, taught us
C#m
But the system only pre
C#m
You've all seen us do
C#m
Mid -valley McLaren
C#m
Go out in the raw color stars
C#m
E
I used to run every chance I would get
C#m
I was a guinea pig,
E
a test subject for medication
C#m
E
And settled for subpar HEC education
C#m
E
A misfit, another kid trapped
in the system
C#m
E
Destined to be a product, another statistic
C#m
I know I wasn't cool
E
C#m
When the big ugly group home van
E
showed up to pick me up from school
C#m
E
Everybody knew it and I couldn't hide it
C#m
My skin was my prison,
E
I just wanted to climb inside it
C#m
E
I'm a grown kid, and I'm not ashamed
C#m
E
This is real life, baby, this is not a game
C#m
E
C#m
We chil dren of the system
C#m
E
I'm a grown kid, and I'm not ashamed
C#m
E
This is real life, baby, this is not a game
C#m
We children of the system
E
C#m
and a lot of pain
E
C#m
Why you think I went to the army?
E
19 years old with no life skills
C#m
The only place around that would
E
teach me to fight, kill,
C#m
and take orders like a drone
E
C#m
Until I reinvented myself
C#m
B
E
And I don't really know what it is lately
C#m
But I still think about the
C#m
I found the army,
E
email found out I'm in the navy
C#m
E
And we were roommates as babies
C#m
E
Sometimes I think back and it's crazy
C#m
They bred me to be lazy,
E
short -tempered, and crazy
C#m
Enough
E
C#m
If you enrage me, enrage me,
C#m
I'm a group home kid
C#m
E
This is real life, this is not a game.
C#m
E
C#m
We are children of the system
E

B
Rachel Madden took kids in
E
that weren't even hers.
C#m
While state funded group homes
C#m
And do you ever think
E
she'll get the respect she deserves?
C#m
Nah, but they tell me to have
E
more respect for the herd
C#m
When you a ward of the court,
E
nothing ever makes sense
C#m
And you get complacent
E
sitting around in placement
C#m
Even the young girls
C#m
Doing things no girl should
E
ever have to do to fit in
B
E
We are a nation of kids discarded
C#m
In Sil mar, where the heart
E
of the kids are hardest
C#m
Temporary group homes
E
and short -term hospitals
C#m
Medication side effects
E
and emotional obstacles
C#m
Yeah, I'm the monster
through abuse and neglect
C#m
E
Just so you can get a check
C#m
So I respect those who went through
C#m
E
Cause I'm a group home kid just like you
C#m
I'm a group home kid and
C#m
E
We children of the system in a lot of pain
C#m
We are children of the system
C#m
I'm a group home kid
C#m
We are children of the system
C#m
I'm a group home kid and
E
C#m
I'm not ashamed
C#m
E
C#m
To anybody who was ever
E
C#m
in a group home
E
