[CHORUS]:

Look back on your lives
Your memories
Are hiding the kids of tragedy
Fall down on your knees
If you try to please
Those forgotten kids of tragedy

Well they were young and old
And their lives were sold
To a new reality
And they'd all been told
That their hearts were cold
To the twentieth century

And when your heart denied
Did you ever try
To show them sympathy?
Stand back on your heels
And see how you feel
In the face of charity

So if you don't see the signs in me
Look out for the kids of tragedy
You can trace that line in reality
To the kids
Whoa-oh-oh
Of tragedy

[CHORUS]

You let them take the blame
But did you feel the shame
For the things you let them do?
And when you made them a part
Of your reckless game
Your talking won't do

So stand and admit
You were wrong to forget
There were times they needed you
Those times when they lied
The envy of pride
As it tried to face the truth

So if you can't see the signs in me
Look out for the kids of tragedy
You can trace that line in reality
To the kids
Whoa-oh-oh
Of tragedy

[CHORUS]
