I grief for you my children
For you there's no easy road
I weep for all your sorrows
For you know you're standing all alone
I've seen your sons and daughters
I've watched them stand and fall
And one thing I am sure of
They were there before you seen them crawl
So don't ask the reason why
The price should be so high
Just live until you die
For you know we live in troubled times

They took away your freedom
They sold you down the line
They gave you empty promises
And paid you back with hatred and with lies
So don't ask the reason why
The price should be so high
Just live until you die
For you know we live in troubled times
So don't ask the reason why
The price should be so high
Just live until you die
For you know we live in troubled times
