Child of Our Times Lyrics

INTRO: A D
#1.
Take your first look around and see the world
you're coming into.
Ah, have a good cry, I sympathize with you.
Ah, forever gone is your serenity for the fleeing
fawn there's no sacred tree, they'll try to make
hypocrisy of your heredity.
So, choose your views most carefully, the future's
hope is on what you turn out to be.
CHORUS:
Child of our times, child of our times, product
of our society.
What will you grow up to respect..tell me what will
you grow up to protect?
In your burning, turning mind, you are your own worst
enemy.
INTERLUDE: G Gbm Em D
#2.
Every minute you're alive you're that much closer to
death.
So, try to make the most of each precious breath.
Ah, don't wave banners, you don't believe, parasite.
You'll have to discover your own wrong and right..
just color your perspectives, black and white.
They'll label you weird, but that's all right.
They'll thank you in the end, after they've seen
the light.
CHORUS:
Child of our times, child of our times, product
of our society.
What will you grow up to respect..tell me what will
you grow up to protect?
In your burning, turning mind, you are your own worst
enemy.
INTERLUDE: G Gbm Em D
#3.
Ah, the heroes of the past were all good guys but the
leaders of the next war no one will memorize.
Only the orphan child will sound the cries of a mistake
that could never be rectified.
I'm telling you now cause you can stop it if you try.
CHORUS:
Child of our times, child of our times, product
of our society.
What will you grow up to respect..tell me what will
you grow up to protect?
In your burning, turning mind, you are your own worst
enemy.
OUTRO:
Child of our times..
