Suffer the Little Children |
| School bell go «Ding! |
| Dong! |
| Ding!» |
| The children all line up |
| They do what they are told |
| Take a little drink from the liar’s cup |
| Mama don’t really care |
| If what they learn is true |
| Or if it’s only lies |
| Just get them through the factories |
| Into production |
| Ah, get them into line |
| Late in the afternoon |
| The children all come home |
| They mind their manners well |
| Their little lives are all laid out |
| Mama don’t seem to care |
| If she may break their hearts |
| She clips their wings off, they never learn to fly |
| Poor Mama needs a source of pride |
| A doctor son she’ll have |
| No matter what the cost to manhood or to soul |
| Sun shine down, brightly shine |
| Down on all the land |
| Shine down on the newborn lambs |
| A butcher’s knife is in his hand |
| Mama, she keeps them unprepared |
| To meet the enemy |
| That’s comin' unto us |
| Teach them that evil dwells across the sea |
| Lives in a mountain |
| Like they see on TV |
| Down in the heart of town |
| The Devil dresses up |
| He keeps his nails clean |
| Did you think he’d be a boogeyman? |
| Oh, Mama’s stuck with sagging dreams |
| She’ll sell a son or two into some slavery |
| That’s lucrative and fine |
| Just teach them not to criticize |
| Say «Yes"to bosses, impress the clients |
| Ah teachers of the world teach them to fake it well |
| School bell go «Ding! |
| Dong! |
| Ding!» |
| The children all line up |
| They do what they are told |
| Take a little drink from the liar’s cup |
