Lyrics

Your childhood has ended
Nothing remains
They feel you are ready
To enter their game

So they give you a number
Instead of your name
And they say, “Don’t you worry it’ll
All turn out the same”

Society breaks down now
Who is to blame
They’re pointing their fingers
The fools are the same
When will we wake up
And find something new
Tell us the truth
It’s all we ask of you

Don’t you ask any questions
Don’t you mention any names
They have ears all around us
Nothing is safe

Nothing’s quite as simple
As they taught you it would be
They make it so very hard
For a man to live
Quietly

Society breaks down now
Who is to blame
They’re pointing their fingers
The fools are the same
When will we wake up
And find something new
Tell us the truth
It’s all we ask of you
Society breaks down now
Who is to blame
They’re pointing their fingers
The fools are the same
Get up from your desks
And witness the truth
Tell us you knew
What it was coming to

Now your childhood has ended
There is nothing left to say
Except I hope you can cope and
Wait for a better day
