coming out to play
 Bombers ripped the night apart
 and blew the school away
 Some live on the south side
 and they overlook the water
 Some live on the north side
 and they're looking at the border
 And those children of the revolution
 see the soldiers come
 Smiling at the widows
 as they take away the sons
 Children of the revolution
 shot downith a brand new gun
 They're dropping down like flies
 and in their eyes the images of
 war are in their eyes
 They've seen it all before
 and know your lies
 Won't keep their bellies full
 In love and war there are no rules

 Children of the revolution
 getting off the boat
 To face the ignorance and prejudice
 that keep this land afloat
 Children of the revolution
 make a brand new start
 Running through the rubble
 of a thousand broken hearts
 and in their eyes
 All promises are broken in their eyes
 The words that can't be spoken
 and your lies
 Don't keep their bellies full
 In love and war there are no rules
 But in their eyes
 Murder comes by sea and from the skies
 It's shiny and it's quick
 to take their lives
 And if it's cruel in love and war
 there are no rules

 Children of the revolution
 coming out to play
 Someone sells a gun and someone
 blows them all away
 Children of the revolution
 sold out by the banks
 Who swap the green upon the dollars
 for the green upon the tanks
 Children of the revolution
 shot down by a brand new gun
