Scared for the Children - Jeff Beck

Billy skipped school again

Lookin' like a fool again

What a little waste for a taste of a big boys life

Scared for the children

Computer screens and magazines

Manufactered hopes and dreams

Playing in a concrete box 'cause mother’s got her shows to watch

Scared for the children

This is the end of the age of the innocent

One more game before they go This is the end of the age of the innocent

What will we leave them with

Suppose we’ll never know

Processed greens and man made meat

Running out of things to eat

Little boys having way too much fun playing with a big boys gun

I’m scared for the children

And on the day the last bird dies

There won’t be a drop from their big square eyes

An old man with his eyes like glass

Kisses the last blade of grass

I’m scared for the children

No respect for anyone

Why would they after what we done

What an example we have set, what a planet we have left

Let’s be there for these children
