lyrics
Not For Children
Life … Bang
It can take you any which way without a warning
Just, and just on, just on the other side of every day is cause and effect
And the truth of the world, the way it really is
When it spreads itself before you know it’s not ...
It’s not for children
This world that we create from avarice and greed
The flames of war we feed we can’t abate
It’s not for children
The evil choices made
You think that you have time to stop it turn it round
But the nagging doubt of time ran out eats in to your brain
Retrograde
The steps that lead me down to see this vision
And the threats I’ve made to keep my gold
But my hands are tied with bonds of slavery
The world that we’ve made where fates a fickle bitch
You know the choices laid before me confirm that ignorance is bliss
It’s not for children
This world that we create from avarice and greed
The flames of war we feed we can’t abate
It’s not for children
The innocence destroyed
These things that we do
The cruel reality is not for children’s eyes
For children’s eyes to see
The choices made to pacify the gods
We crave blood and diamonds and gold
There’s blood on our hands
Can you hear the children crying
There’s blood on our hands
Can you hear the children dying
(See the children, can you look in their eye’s)
