Livin' in a World lyrics
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 world's confusion
We teach our kids rules
That we don't adhere to ourselves
Right or wrong
What examples can they take?
The people we learn from
Forge the ideas we become
Livin' in a world they didn't make
Livin' in a world that's filled with hate
Livin' in a world where grown-ups
Break the rules
Livin' in a world they didn't make
Payin' 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
Doin' drugs, joinin' gangs to rebel
Colors show they belong
To the social override
'Cause they're livin' in a space
They feel out of place
Livin' in a world they didn't make
Livin' in a world that's filled with hate
Livin' in a world where grown-ups
Break the rules
Livin' in a world they didn't make
Payin' for a lot of adult mistakes
How much of this madness can they take
Our children?
Livin' in a world they didn't make
Livin' in a world that's filled with hate
Livin' in a world where grown-ups
Break the rules
Livin' in a world they didn't make
Payin' for a lot of adult mistakes
How much of this madness can they take
Our children?
How much can they take?
Children of the world
They are all so innocent
How much can they take?
How much can they take?
[Incomprehensible]
