Everything's so different now A scream which fills the air And haunts the smallest children's sleep upon the floor Where have they gone you'll hear them say With smiles meant to cry As they wind a watch wrapped on a wrist And quickly look away Four and six have come and gone Five times before they're seen And upon the lips of everyone a curse they've never dreamed Yah upon the lips of everyone a curse they've never dreamed
The young must be our sacrifice They say with crippled grins The eyes of youth must lose their way And stumble here within So the sleeping children were awoke In time to haze their eyes So was never known on which they choked where books of old and time So was never known on which they choked where books of old and time
It's a complicated situation It's a complicated situation mama I'm a complicated situation
