Lyrics
We live out lives like lambs led to the slaughter,
Then we teach it to our son and daughter.
Are we too blind to see, what we're doing to them?
Or have we just closed our eyes, and tried to pretend?
They live their lives all alone.
They have no minds of the own.
They can't choose right from wrong.
Can't you see it can't go on?
All we care about is me, myself, and I.
As far as we care everyone else could die.
But isn't it funny how someone else controls our lives,
Saying who can live and who it must be who dies.
We live our lives all alone.
We have no minds of our own.
We can't choose right from wrong.
Can't you see it can't go on?
