V1 When children said “We hate the world” Then no one told them they are wrong
C1 And what’s really sad – that parents did not care “We all are the same, and there’s much more to hate”
V2 When young men said “I’m better than you” The old men smiled to them like “They’re ours”
C2 And what’s really sad – they thought they’re doing right Why they should care when no one heard their cries They got their jobs, they were shown the ways And all said they deserved much more than they were paid
B One of them wakes up, sais “Why ‘m I searching For someone to hear me?” When all sold out he’s spent his fortune He’s spent what he should have been Has all become wrong, but how it could be When all was decided Now he must go on, he’s got the deals His kids must surpass his own
C3 “Well, it’s life, it surely led us all We were the right guys, but fate has been pretold” An old man sits back proud of all he’s done It wasn’t his fault if he did something wrong
