lyrics

[spoken]: It's still recording... I'll just go farther away

Little boy put the gun down,
you're only wanting looking eyes.
Little girl put your arms down,
you're only trying to swat flies

Oh you can't get away
oh you can't get away

Mama please put the cigarette out,
you're swimming in gasoline.
father you know, without a doubt,
while we're filling our full canteens

Oh you can't get away
Oh you can't get away

From the darkness of telling the truth
From the darkness of upcoming youth
From the hopelessness of making you see,
They will never let us be.

Little boy put the gun down,
You're only wanting.

Oh you can't get away
Oh you can't get away
Oh you can't get away
Oh you can't get away

From the Darkness of telling the truth
From the Darkness of upcoming youth
From the hopelessness of making you see
They will never let us be.
