We are the sons and daughters of children

We're all just figuring it out as we go

When we answered the door, there was nobody home
E MajorE
Aren't you glad I didn't tell you the nonsense they fed me
D MajorD
All about forbidden fruit

And then they sent us off to schools, and factories, and wars

In the land of the free and the home of the depraved
