Children Of The Revolution

Children of the revolution coming out to play

Bombers ripped the night apart and blew the school away

Some live on the south side and they overlook the water

Some live on the north side and they're looking at the borderAnd those children of the revolution see the soldiers come

Smiling at the widows as they take away the sons

Children of the revolution shot down with a brand new gun

They're dropping down like flies and in their eyesThe images of war are in their eyes

They've seen it all before and know your lies

Won't keep their bellies full

In love and war there are no rulesChildren of the revolution getting off the boat

To face the ignorance and prejudice that keep this land afloat

Children of the revolution make a brand new start

Running through the rubble of a thousand broken hearts and in their eyesAll promises are broken in their eyes

The words that can't be spoken and your lies

Don't keep their bellies full

In love and war there are no rulesBut in their eyes

Murder comes by sea and from the skies

It's shiny and it's quick to take their lives

And if it's cruel, in love and war there are no rulesChildren of the revolution coming out to play

Someone sells a gun and someone blows them all away

Children of the revolution sold out by the banks

Who swap the green upon the dollars for the green upon the tanksChildren of the revolution shot down by a brand new gun

Shot down by a brand new gun

Shot down by a brand new gun

Shot down by a brand new gun
