No one trusts a child But don't children speak the most truth? Children aren't liars Aren't fuled by ambition with ruthlessness If anyone should be trusted Why not a child? They're so simpleminded And forthcoming in time No one listens to children As they beg for help and care Lost in a world of thieving men Where life is never fair At night hear their screams While we turn away We're killing their dreams Tomorrow's problems from today We promise them the world And give them the scraps of our troubles So truth be told We don't hear simply because We don't give a **** about them

And The Children Do Scream
No one trusts a child But don't children speak the most truth? Children aren't liars Aren't fuled by ambition with ruthlessness If anyone should be trusted Why not a child? They're so simpleminded And forthcoming in time No one listens to children As they beg for help and care Lost in a world of thieving men Where life is never fair At night hear their screams While we turn away We're killing their dreams Tomorrow's problems from today We promise them the world And give them the scraps of our troubles So truth be told We don't hear simply because We don't give a **** about them
Tomorrow's problems spawn today, and are delegated to the children we "swore" to protect.
