Kids of Tragedy

Look back on your lives
Your memories are hiding the kids of tragedy
Fall down on your knees
If you try to please those forgotten kids of tragedy

Well, they were young and old
And their lives were sold to a new reality
And they'd all been told
That their hearts were cold to the twentieth century

And when your heart denied
Did you ever try to show them sympathy?
Stand back on your heels
And see how you feel in the face of charity

So if you don't see the signs in me
Look out for the kids of tragedy
You can trace that line in reality
To the kids, whoa, oh, oh of tragedy

Look back on your lives
Your memories are hiding the kids of tragedy
Fall down on your knees
If you try to please those forgotten kids of tragedy

You let them take the blame
But did you feel the shame for the things you let them do?
And when you made them a part
Of your reckless game, your talking won't do

So stand and admit you were wrong to forget
There were times they needed you
Those times when they lied
The envy of pride as it tried to face the truth

So if you can't see the signs in me
Look out for the kids of tragedy
You can trace that line in reality
To the kids, whoa, oh, oh of tragedy

Look back on your lives
Your memories are hiding the kids of tragedy
Fall down on your knees
If you try to please those forgotten kids of tragedy
