"We're Killing Each Other"
The children, the children
have all grown up.
Their minds pre-exposed
to death and disrupt.
The Mothers and Fathers
know not what to do.
Crying their hearts out
as the bullets fly through.
The children, the children
our future at hand.
They're killing each other
throughout the land.
"Hey Mommy, hey Daddy,
what did I do?
I did what you taught me -
I did it for you."
The children, the children,
they're all raised by you...
Parents and teachers, and T.V. too.
Keep that in mind
when you're confused and distraught.
The children are just doing
what they've been taught.
