the children of tomorrow
We slapped the kids who farmed your food
It makes them work much faster
Who will need us?
God and Jesus
spelling death to taxes
Sons of solemn pride
summer struggles,
Autumn tide
winter, hunger
spring in strides
when we come
They run and hide
The children of tomorrow
Pick the bounty for today
While the adults hum their sorrows
then they take it all away
A good day‘s work
For little pay
While youth is being wasted
The food was good,
The mood was nice
the ball and chain we tasted
