Billy skipped school again looking like a fool again What a little waste for a taste of a big boys life I'm scared for the children Computer screens and magazines Manufactured hopes and dreams Playing in a concrete box cause mother's got her shows to watch I'm scared for the children This is the end of the age of the innocent One more game before they go This is the end of the age of the innocent What will we leave them with Suppose we'll never know Processed greens and man made meat Running out of things to eat Little boys having way too much fun playing with a big boys gun I'm scared for the children And on the day the last bird dies There won't be a drop from their big square eyes An old man with his eyes just like glass Kisses the last blade of grass I'm scared for the children No respect for anyone Why would they after what we done What an example we have set, what a planet we have left Let's be there for these children
