Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Billy skipped school again looking like a fool again
What a little waste for a taste of a big boy's life
I'm scared for the children
[Verse 2]
Computer screens and magazines manufactured hopes and dreams
Playing in a concrete box 'cause mother's got her shows to watch
Yeah I'm scared for the children
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Processed greens and man made meat running out of things to eat
Little boys having too much fun playing with the big boys gun
I'm scared for the children
[Verse 5]
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 just like glass
Kisses the last blade of grass
I'm scared for the children
[Verse 6]
'Cause 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?
I suppose we'll never know
[Verse 7]
'Cause 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
Well I suppose we'll never know
[Verse 8]
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
