Hey Now, Behave Now

Maybe it came from the time that they put him to sleep;

told him a tale that would numb him and shallow the deep;

much older now but he still likes to play with his toys,

like a boy, plays with sand, plays in and band.

Hey now, behave now.

"You have crossed the lines of youth too many times."

When the shopping malls and banks go down;

we will try to rebuild.

When it comes to kids with guns;

we look away without guilt.

Maybe it was in the songs that they played for the blind;

from the last chapter of a book that was left far behind

(hey i don't know);

all the boys and girls...they would laugh, they would cry,

they would run up the hill;

t'wards the sun, t'wards the sea-side, into the light.

Hey now, behave now.

"In the brightest rooms on earth there's fear too."

When the shopping malls and banks go down;

we will try to rebuild.

When it comes to kids with guns;

we look away without guilt.
