Children are called the future of an adult world They are born with spirits so innocent 'till we teach them how to hate
Add to the world's confusion We teach our kids rules That we don't adhere to ourselves Right or wrong
What example can they take The people we learn from Forge the ideas we become
Living in a world they didn't make Living in a world that's filled with hate Living in a world where grown-ups break the rules Living in a world they didn't make Paying for a lot of adult mistakes How much of this madness can they take Our children
Children grow to become our young adults Problems of the world They must learn how to confront Doing drugs and joining gangs to rebel Colors show they belong To the social override 'cause they're living in a space They feel out of place
Living in a world they didn't make Living in a world that's filled with hate Living in a world where grown-ups break the rules Living in a world we didn't make Paying for a lot of adult mistakes How much of this madness can we take As children
