Livin' In A World (They Didn't Make)

Children are called the future of an adult world
They are born with spirits so innocent
Til we teach them how to hate
Add to the worlds confusion
We teach our kids rules
That we dont adhere to ourselves
Right or wrong
What example can they take
The people we learn from
Forge the ideas we become
Living in a world they didnt make
Living in a world thats filled with hate
Living in a world where grown-ups break the rules
Living in a world they didnt make
Paying for a lot of adult mistakes
How much of this madness can they take
Our children
Children grow to become our young adults
Problems of the world
They must learn how to confront
Doing drugs and joining gangs to rebel
Colors show they belong
To the social override
Cause theyre living in a space
They feel out of place
Living in a world they didnt make
Living in a world thats filled with hate
Living in a world where grown-ups break the rules
Living in a world they didnt make
Paying for a lot of adult mistakes
How much of this madness can they take
Our children
