| Everybody stumblin' 'round in the dark 'cause the lights’re too dim to see
 | 
| Everybody’s got an axe to grind and they call it «Bein' free»
 | 
| Everybody with their skin so thin, lookin' out for Number One
 | 
| Nobody wants to be left holdin' the bag when it’s all done
 | 
| There ain’t much left to say, I can’t stand it anymore
 | 
| (Lord, Lord,) These children have gone crazy
 | 
| (Lord, Lord,) Please come down and save me
 | 
| (Lord, Lord,) You got to believe me
 | 
| (Lord, Lord,) Lord, strike me dead
 | 
| Everybody wants to blame somebody for the sorry shape they’re in
 | 
| Everybody ought to take a step back, see where it all begins
 | 
| Nobody is listenin', they’re all spittin' in the wind
 | 
| Somebody please cover my eyes, tell me, When’s it gonna end?
 | 
| Take me outta here, I can’t stand it anymore
 | 
| (Lord, Lord,) These children have gone crazy
 | 
| (Lord, Lord,) Please come down and save me
 | 
| (Lord, Lord,) You got to believe me
 | 
| (Lord, Lord,) Lord, strike me dead
 | 
| (Lord, Lord,) These children have gone crazy
 | 
| (Lord, Lord,) Please come down and save me
 | 
| (Lord, Lord,) You got to believe me
 | 
| (Lord, Lord,) Lord, strike me dead |
