BIG KIDS
And so you think you're able
To survive this mess by
Being a prince or a princess
You will soon see
There's no escaping tragedy
And even if you put in heaps of effort
You're just wasting energy
Cause your life as you know it is ancient history
I have suffered in this gaol
Have been trapped inside this
Cage for ages
This living 'ell
But if I try I can remember
Back before my life had ended
Before my happy days were over
Before I first heard the
Pealing of the bell
Like you, I was curious
So innocent, I asked a thousand questions
But unless you want to suffer
Listen up and I will teach you
A thing or two
You listen here, my dear
You'll be punished
So severely if you
Step out of line
And if you cry it will be double
You should stay out of trouble
And remember to be extremely careful
