lyrics

See the children come
Each of them with hyenic psychosis
Don't let it happen again, won't let it happen again
So he speaks to them hoping that they're succeptable to reason
But it is the season for taking payment - insane
(They're really good boys they'll claim)

Can't count on everyone cos each of us is stuck in our own process
We'll tell them 'leave it alone', they'll tell us to mind our own
Unknown we're feeding them
Helping them gorge on others' hopelessness
(Keep your head down and hope for the best)

I'd tell you to run, but which way?
I'd tell you to stand, but today we're afraid

But I don't believe all the kids are resposible
But I know it's plausible we're all feeble and shall remain

Live life through intercom, stabbing at some old, grey, cold buttons
I'm sorry, no-one is home, outside, you're left on your own
Protestor: Prove me wrong
Tell me of your tale of youth and glory (think Jack-a-nory)
Until you've walked in their way, or heard the things that they say, celebrate

But I don't believe all the kids are resposible
But I know it's plausible we're all feeble and shall remain

Pray, disbelieve, in the hope that they'll go
Too easy to decree that a hood maketh criminal
