Scared For The Children
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Billy skipped school again looking like a fool again
What a little waste for a taste of a big boy's life
I'm scared for the children
Computer screens and magazines
Manufactured hopes and dreams
Playing in a concrete box 'cause mother's got her shows to watch
I'm scared for the children
This is the end of the age of the innocent
One more game before they go
This is the end of the age of the innocent
What will we leave them with
Suppose we'll never know
Processed greens and man made meat
Running out of things to eat
Little boys having way too much fun playing with a big boys gun
I'm scared for the children
And on the day the last bird dies
There won't be a drop from their big square eyes
An old man with his eyes just like glass
Kisses the last blade of grass
I'm scared for the children
This is the end of the age of the innocent
One more game before they go
This is the end of the age of the innocent
What will we leave them with
Suppose we'll never know
This is the end of the age of the innocent
One more game before they go
This is the end of the age of the innocent
What will we leave them with
Suppose we'll never know
No respect for anyone
Why would they after what we done
What an example we have set, what a planet we have left
Let's be there for these children
