Add to the world's confusion
We teach our kids rules
That we don't adhere ourselves
Right or wrong
What example can they take
The people we learn from
Forget the ideas we become

Living in a world they didn't make
Living in a world
That's filled with hate
Living in a world
Where grown-ups break the rules
Living in a world they didn't make
Paying for a lot of adults 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
Doing drugs and joining gangs to rebel
Colors show they belong
To the social override
'Cause they're living in a space
They feel out the place

Living in a world they didn't make
Living in a world
That's filled with hate
Living in a world
Where grown-ups break the rules
Living in a world they didn't make
Paying for a lot of adults mistakes
How much of this madness can we take
As children
