We spend all our lives running away So far away from here What we see is all we get When we close out minds from all we know is there When you live in a box-tight world You won't know what you have until What you have been told

Suddenly it's happening your hypocrisy Your thought have become dead to me And bullets hit me just the way I am But only if I teach, if I teach
Slow your crying, break me down So you can build me up To what you say fit What you say fit

The children, don't you know why? Obedience goes without question The children, seen and not heard Will not be silent forever 'Cause we are, we are the children
Tell us why Obedience goes without question And the children, seen and not heard (Seen and not heard) Will not be silent forever 'Cause we are, we are the childrenTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
