Kids Of Tragedy

(album: A's B's & Rarities - 2004)

Look back on your life, your memories
Are hiding the kids of tragedy
Fall down on your knees, if you try to please
Those forgotten kids of tragedy

Well, they were young and old
And their lives were sold
To a new reality
And they'd all been told
That their hearts were cold
To the 20th century

And when you'd hide at night
Did you ever try
To show them sympathy
Stand back on your heels
And see how ya feel
In the face of charity

So if you don't see, the signs in me
Look out, for the kids of tragedy
You can trace that line of reality
To the kids, whoa, oh whoa
Of tragedy

Look back on your lives, your memories
Are hiding the kids of tragedy
Fall down on your knees, if you try to please
Those forgotten kids of tragedy

You let them take the blame
But did you feel the shame
For the things you let them do
And when you made them a part
Of your reckless game
You taught them all you knew

So stand and admit
You were wrong to forget
There were times they needed you
Those times when they lied
For your empty pride
As they tried to face the truth

So if you don't see, the signs in me
Look out, for the kids of tragedy
You can trace that line of reality
To the kids, whoa, oh whoa
Of tragedy

Look back on your lives, your memories
Are hiding the kids of tragedy
Fall down on your knees, if you try to please
Those forgotten kids of tragedy
