you don't stop not even to rest
You clean up the mess you made out of our lives
for the last time tonight
let them see the lighter in your eyes
they're the last ones down
but they're the first ones out
you're telling the stories
you're selling the glory to the kids on the bad side of town
and they say (woah woah woah)
cross our fingers (woah woah woah)
for all believers (woah woah woah)
Only one can enter it
Chorus:
The truth is you see troops, not children (woah oh oh)
you smile and you pretend as you hand guns out to my friends
You sell these kids a new beginning (woah oh oh)
You smile and you pretend as you hand guns out, guns out to my friends
A new crop so hard to resist
you're selling the kids with limited options to the lowest bid
safety in numbers proved wrong again
they're the last ones down
but they're the first ones out
you're telling the stories
you're selling the glory to the kids on the bad side of town
The truth is you see troops, not children (woah oh oh)
you smile and you pretend as you hand guns out to my friends
You sell these kids a new beginning (woah oh oh)
You smile and you pretend as you hand guns out, guns out to my friends
I gotta know who you are,
the kids are back together while you set them up to take the fall
I gotta know who you are
The kids are back togethere while you set them up to take the fall
The kids are running on alcohol
with no clue, their backs against the wall
