Separation

Looking in the children's eyes
I  see no sign of understanding
Tired  of those lies
Now it's the truth they're demanding

I see you're livin' by those rules
Jubilation
Only in the eyes of fools
Now  the judge says take the stand
Don't be nervous, there's no jury
Is this what you had planned?
Just look at what you're doing to me

You will see a change in me
Man alone can't make it

Ooh, yeah
