Lyrics
"NEGLECT CAN WRECK"
Don't neglect, take good care and protect, your responsibilities,
if you don't you'll see how,
Neglect can wreck, put you to the test, create a mess, crumble
dreams, and divide all our families.
Hey, oh, by the way, the word today is education, need a place,
a job that pays.
Hey, don't be a fool, stay in school, wasting minds really so uncool.
All across the nation, every occupation earns it's place and
value, indeed
All across the land, many hearts don't understand that, good
communication we need, how I plead.
Don't neglact, take good care and protect, your responsibilities,
if you don't you'll see, how
Neglect can wreck, put you to the test, create a mess, crumble
dreams, and divide all our families.
Hey, oh here's the deal, many feel the need to give while many
feel a need to steal.
Hey, so many crying, saddened by, the suffering and pain that
we all see.
All across the nation, serious devastation, taking lives and
changing beliefs.
All across the land, manu need a helping hand, to comprehend
their priorities, how I plead.
[Don't neglect, take good care and protect, your responsibilities,
if you don't you'll see how,
Neglect can wreck, put you to the test, create a mess, crumble
dreams, and divide all our families.]
REPEAT: [Chorus]
Hey, now here's a fact, smoking crack can make you ill, arrest
your heart and surely kill.
Hey, the lesson is teach the kids, the dangers of guns, sex,
gangs and drugs.
Hey, a need to pray, for better days and better ways, to
educate our world today.
Hey, the time has come, for everyone to reconize, and change
their own lives.
All across the nation, serious devastation, taking lives and
changing beliefs.
All across the land, many need a helping hand, to comprehend
their priorities, how I plead.
REPEAT: [Chorus]
