Everything's so different now 
A scream which fills the air 
And haunts the smallest children's sleep upon the floor 
Where have they gone you'll hear them say 
With smiles meant to cry 
As they wind a watch wrapped on a wrist 
And quickly look away 
Four and six have come and gone 
Five times before they're seen 
And upon the lips of everyone a curse they've never dreamed 
Yah upon the lips of everyone a curse they've never dreamed 
The young must be our sacrifice 
They say with crippled grins 
The eyes of youth must lose their way 
And stumble here within 
So the sleeping children were awoke 
In time to haze their eyes 
So was never known on which they choked where books of old and time 
So was never known on which they choked where books of old and time 
It's a complicated situation 
It's a complicated situation mama 
I'm a complicated situation
