Children of the Grave

Yeah, revolution in their minds

The children start to march

Against the world in which they have to live

And all the hate that's gone in their hearts

Oh, they're tired of being pushed around

And told just what to do

Yeah, they'll fight the world until they've won

And hell comes flowing through, yeah

In Los Angeles, 1969

They shot, stabbed, and bludgeoned nine people to death

Committing one of the most heinous crimes in history

Yeah, children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today

Oh, will the sunrise of tomorrow bring in peace in any way?

Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear?

Yeah, can they win the fight for peace, or will they disappear?

In Los Angeles, 1969

They shot, stabbed, and bludgeoned nine people to death

Committing one of the most heinous crimes in history

Yeah, so, you children of the world, just listen to what I say

Oh, if you want a better place to live, then spread the word today

Yeah, show the world that love is still alive, you must be brave

Yeah, or you children of today are children of the grave, yeah
