| Roughneck and rudeness,
|
| We should be using, on the ones who practiced wicked charms
|
| For the sword and the stone
|
| Bad to the bone
|
| Battle’s not over
|
| Even when it’s won
|
| And when a child is born into this world
|
| It has no concept
|
| Of the tone it’s skin living in
|
| It’s not a second
|
| 7 seconds away
|
| Just as long as I stay
|
| I’ll be waiting
|
| It’s not a second
|
| 7 seconds away
|
| Just as long as I stay
|
