Blame The Children

She never went to church, no, no And she had a very short childhood Always paranoid, had the usual friends for toys But more than often I could see her fake it But sometimes I feel the warmth in her smile And it's worth my while And nothing is taken for granted, yeah Cause she never wanted anything - No She never held no one's hand No matter who you are or what may be a proper man Everything can always get broken She had never learned to love herself Seal it up with electric tape, cover yourself in drapes Close the lock and do whatever it takes to live alone After-war with mistakes Let her be unknown There is no escape They gave you such a horrible shape to worship and adore Yet you step up to the plate and wait to be devoured Pretend you've got no soul So you don't look like a coward Blame the children, Blame the children, Blame the children Yeah, yeah Blame the children, Blame the children, Blame the children Yeah, yeah And expect she won't ask for your help And she manages to do-do-do it by herself Whisper prayers that no one hears, so that she may never forget. In her lies the strength And baby girl tries and though nothing ever seemed to happen I have never seen her cry or heard her complain And weaving lies is the human art When we were younger, we couldn't say goodbye before we depart And you were never your mother's daughter Now all that's left with you is her name Thinking we're the same You hit rewind and this time we take play You still saw yourself in doubt And unnecessary Seal it up with electric tape, cover yourself in drapes Close the lock and do whatever it takes to live alone. After-war with mistakes Let her be unknown There is no escape They gave you such a horrible shape to worship and adore Yet you step up to the plate and wait to be devoured Pretend you've got no soul so you don't look like a coward Blame the children, Blame the children, Blame the children Yeah, yeah Blame the children, Blame the children, Blame the children Yeah, yeah I am the perfect critic of reason, I am the perfect critic of reason I am the perfect critic of reason, I am the perfect critic of reason Why does all the wrong shit Happen to the right person It always happens to you
