Red Rover, Red Rover
Is long ago over
As submachine guns are now slung over our children's shoulder
Hide and Go Seek
Is not for the meek
Now it's played by survivors or victims, the out look is bleak
London Bridge is Falling Down
Wouldn't actually hit the ground
But in today's reality there is probability to be found
War was played with cards
Now human life is of little regard
Open up your eyes, for war is now in our backyards

Red Rover, Red Rover
Is long ago over
As submachine guns are now slung over our children's shoulder
Hide and Go Seek
Is not for the meek
Now it's played by survivors or victims, the out look is bleak
London Bridge is Falling Down
Wouldn't actually hit the ground
But in today's reality there is probability to be found
War was played with cards
Now human life is of little regard
Open up your eyes, for war is now in our backyards
