Your Children

Your dreams like the smoke from a blaze

And everything you do you do for you

You see that there is suffering all around the family

But you don’t move

Your life like a book that you read

Meant to be a cautionary tale

Your lack of love was dangerous

But now it’s real

And you know if you look

At all that you own

Taken from your children

Taken from your children

Lying to your children

Lying to your children

Your wealth like a river that you stopped

Instead of flowing out goes back to you

And all of your ambition’s got you rough around the boundaries

So you’re so cruel

Your son with an idea of his own

Tries to be exactly what you need

He plays his hand and then he knows

And you don’t breathe

And you know if you look

At all that you own

Taken from your children

Taken from your children

Lying to your children

Lying to your children
