All The Children |
Time stands still when you’re always underage |
So we learned to fake it like actors on a stage |
Everyone we knew told us just what to do and how to feel about it |
All our illusions fell. |
We knew them so well until we learned to doubt all of it |
All the children know if you jump you fall. |
And if you jump too high, |
you fall harder than before |
All the children say, «Why'd you let me down? |
Tell me, when you going to come |
around? |
I can’t live my life underground. |
Tell me, when you going to come around?» |
Calling, mama |
Calling, mama |
Calling, mama |
Blue lights and shadows, we grew up way too fast |
They stole our future. |
But they can’t steal our past |
Everyone knows that’s where you go if you have to run now |
If I’m not back by dawn, tell them I’ll be gone and I’ll stay gone somehow |
All the children know if you jump you fall. |
And if you jump too high, |
you fall harder than before |
All the children say, «Why'd you let me down? |
Tell me, when you going to come |
around? |
I can’t live my life underground. |
Tell me, when you going to come around?» |
«Hold your tongue. |
Hold your tongue. |
Hold your tongue. |
Hold your tongue, boy.» |
Stop staring, stop staring, stop staring, stop staring, stop staring, |
stop staring, stop staring, stop staring, stop staring, stop staring, |
stop staring, stop staring at everyone |
All the children know if you run, you fall. |
And if you run too fast, |
you’ll fall harder than before |
All the children say, «Why'd you let me down? |
Tell me, when you going to come |
around? |
I can’t live my life underground. |
Tell me, when you going to come around?» |
Calling, mama |
Calling, mama |
Calling, mama |
