After the love has gone      Some kids, only sweet sixteen   Think they’re really tough   You could give them everything   It wouldn’t be enough      Mothers crying all alone   What did I do wrong?    Raising up a family   You’ve got to be so strong      After the love has gone   How can we carry on?    After the love has gone   How can we carry on?       Father is a broken man   He drinks to forget   He’s searching for the higher gound   But he ain’t found it yet      Everyday just like the last   Poverty and lust   So hateful of the richer man   Because he ain’t like us      After the love has gone   How can we carry on?    After the love has gone   What used to be right is wrong   Like walking into a storm      Walking into a storm      Strangled by religion   Those that still believe   When you don’t have nothing   The lord he will relieve      Television lifestyle   People come on down   Welcome to the future   Your feet won’t touch the ground   Your feet won’t touch the ground      After the love has gone   How can we carry on?    After the love has gone   What used to be right is wrong   Like walking into a storm
