| I grieve for you, my children
|
| For you there’s no easy road
|
| I weep for all your sorrows
|
| For you know you’re standing all alone
|
| I’ve seen your sons and daughters
|
| I’ve watched them stand and fall
|
| And one thing I am sure of
|
| They will die before you see them crawl
|
| So don’t ask the reason why
|
| The price should be so high
|
| Just live until you die
|
| For you know we live in troubled times
|
| They took away your freedom
|
| They sold you down the line
|
| They gave you empty promises
|
| And paid you back with hatred and with lies
|
| So don’t ask the reason why
|
| The price should be so high
|
| Just live until you die
|
| For you know we live in troubled times |
