The Children (Radio Version)

(专辑： Breaking The Silence - 2001)

We spend all our lives running away
So far away from here
What we see is all we get
When we close out minds from all we know is there
When you live in a box-tight world
You won't know what you have until
What you have been told

And the children, don't you know why?
Obedience goes without question
And the children, seen and not heard
Will not be silent forever
'Cause we are, you know we are the children

Suddenly it's happening your hypocrisy
Your thought have become dead to me
And bullets hit me just the way I am
But only if I teach, if I teach

Slow your crying, break me down
So you can build me up
To what you say fit
What you say fit

And the children, don't you know why?
Obedience goes without question
And the children, seen and not heard
Will not be silent forever
'Cause we are, we are the children

I speak for my generation saying:
We will not go quietly into your pounds
We will not be swallowed by the crowds
We will not live by the lines you've drawn up for us, we will draw our own
Because we are the children

The children, don't you know why?
Obedience goes without question
The children, seen and not heard
Will not be silent forever
'Cause we are, we are the children

Tell us why
Obedience goes without question
And the children, seen and not heard (Seen and not heard)
Will not be silent forever
'Cause we are, we are the children
