The Kids Who Kill For Sugar
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.
When we take our bored and embittered youth
And presweeten them with their breakfast food
Should we grind 'em down like a rotten tooth
When these additives lead to attitude ?
'cuz the kids hate power pop
But they need that sugar shock
So we praise the meat,
And we curse the bread
And we're on our knees
Like the good book said
Then it's no surprise
When they lose their heads
And we find ourselves
Strangled in our beds
'cuz the kids hate power pop
But they need that sugar shock
The kids of today
Well, they're losin' their faith . . . .
(can you handle
Birthday candles ?
Cradle, schoolbus
Playground, first crush
High school, prom date
Paychecks, roomates
Wedding flowers
Baby showers
Mortgage, pension
Did i mention ?
Someone is there at the door . . . .)
