"Our children will thank us", they said
Then they stole our youth
Set it ablaze in an amphetamine haze
and the sun faded away
A million scientists just fell off the earth
It's in today's headlines
With leaky hulls and c**-de-sac skulls
we set our ships to sea
I don't get what all the fuss is about
And when your world comes crashing down I'll be there, but not for you
I'd like to see you talk your way out of this one, son;
you've got their blood on your hands
So unless you've got some kind of cunning diversion
I suggest you face the wall instead
I don't get what all the fuss is about
And when your world came crashing down I was there, but not for you
