| I will kill you
|
| Said the five-year-old
|
| As he left his knives
|
| At the school gate
|
| So I took her home
|
| Locked all the doors
|
| I’ll teach you here
|
| About boys like that
|
| Please don’t go and turn out like them
|
| Please don’t go and grow up like that
|
| I could walk to school
|
| All on my own
|
| No tag in my leg
|
| No cell phone
|
| I was not afraid
|
| I was weaponless
|
| But now I keep a knife
|
| Just in case
|
| Please don’t go and turn out like them
|
| Please don’t go and turn out like them
|
| Please don’t go and turn out like them
|
| I can’t take photographs
|
| You make me guilty
|
| Watching my kids in the swimming pool
|
| I will kill you if you touch them
|
| I don’t care if it’s your parent’s fault
|
| I’m sick of being the light all the time
|
| Watching my P’s and Q’s all the time
|
| I’m sick of being polite
|
| Please don’t go and turn out like them
|
| (Please don’t go and turn out like them)
|
| Please don’t go and turn out like them
|
| (Please don’t go and turn out like them)
|
| Please don’t go and turn out like them
|
| (Please don’t go and turn out like them)
|
| I will love you despite everything
|
| Make you feel safe at any cost
|
| I will drag you back from the building
|
| And give you back what you have lost
|
| (Give you back what you have lost)
|
| Give you back what you have lost
|
| (Give you back what you have lost)
|
| Give you back what you have lost
|
| (Make you safe at any cost)
|
| Give you back what you have lost |
