Scared for the Children

Billy skipped school again
Lookin' like a fool again
What a little waste for a taste of a big boys life
Scared for the children
Computer screens and magazines
Manufactered hopes and dreams
Playing in a concrete box 'cause mother’s got her shows to watch
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 like glass
Kisses the last blade of grass
I’m scared for the children
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
