Rumours - Children Of War Lyrics

Rumours – Children Of War Lyrics

That girl you know isn’t really the person that she shows
Abusive father at home, a mother killed on the road
She takes the hits from father’s alcoholic fits
You wouldn’t last a day
You wouldn’t know her pain

Can’t seem to run away
They always seem to find
Another troubled kid
It’s all in due time
I see the words that you write on your skin
The blood spells help but that’s not what you will get

We are the children of war
Taking up arms against each other
For things we’d never die for
You know the truth but they only see the scars
Another victim of the monsters we truly are

I am the voice of those afraid to speak
The one’s who seem weak
Truth is they’re stronger than me
This is what we call the next generation
Killing our peers with hateful intentions

“Try living every day like I’m never here”
No fear, they hold the guilt but it still makes you wanna disappear

We are the children of war
Taking up arms against each other
For things we’d never die for
You know the truth but they only see the scars
Another victim of the monsters we truly are

You’ll learn not to fuck with us
You’ll learn not to fuck with us
You’ll learn not to fuck with us
I’ll be the first one to start the fire cause…
There’s no room in the ground for people like you

Why can’t you see what you’re doing to feed the monster inside
It’s time to set aside
the acceptance of closed minds
Now leave your fucking pride
Or we’ll never get this right
So when you’re holding the gun
I hope you regret
Oh the words you said on the blood painted bed
The tears that were shed
I hope you regret
These blades won’t numb my pain
I think I’m going insane
I’m looking for a reason to stay
all that’s left to do is run away

We are the children of war
Taking up arms against each other
For things we’d never die for
You know the truth but they only see the scars
Another victim of the monsters we truly are

We truly are
We truly are
We truly are
We are the Children Of War.
