Child soldiers
The world is dead; it’s all in my head
 As I walk around, brushing the ashes off the ground
 Tombstones start to appear, as I scream and no one can hear
 The pain in my voice, this wasn’t my choice
 Why is everyone gone, it’s not even dawn
 As I look around, wanting to fall down
 And scream my hate, this isn’t my fate
 I would be laughed at, I say screw that
 Let the ones that I regret begin to forget
 That this is me, and I won’t be
 The one to change you, man this won’t do
 You’re walking and joking with me, pointing the blame
 At all of them, man that’s just lame
 When you say none of it’s your fault, I come to a halt
 Well look around you, no ones to hear you
 So blame away, that’s all you did they’ll say
 When the call was called, you were hiding behind a wall
 As all of the children grabbed a gun
  When they could have been having fun
 When the bullets began to fly, you began wondering why
 All of this had to happen, those people start clappin
 When the children cry out, their blood spills about
 Now the child soldiers are dead, lying in a hospital bed
 Bullet holes in their chest, now they can rest
