Livin' in a world (they didn't make)

Livin' in a world (they didn't make)

Children are called the future of an adult world.
They are born with spirits so innocent.
'Till we teach them how to hate.
Add to the world confusion.
We teach our kids rules.
That we don't adhere to ourselves.
Right or wrong.
What example can they take.
The people we learn from.
Forge the ideas we become.
Livin' in a world they didn't make.
Livin' in a world that filled with hate.
Livin' in a world where grown-ups break the rules.
Livin' in a world they didn't make.
Paying for a lot of adult mistakes.
How much of this madness can they take.
Our children.
Children grow to become our young adults.
Problems of the world.
They must learn how to confront.
Doing drugs and joining gangs to rebel.
Colors show they belong.
To the social override.
'Cause they're livin' in a space.
They feel out of place.
Livin' in a world we didn't make.
Livin' in a world that filled with hate.
Livin' in a world where grown-ups break the rules.
Livin' in a world we didn't make.
Paying for a lot of adult mistakes.
How much of this madness can we take.
As children.
