"Let's Be Kids Again"
An Original Song By:
Everest
Lyrics:
Intro:
People are sick
Talking about this
Doing that
Betraying the innocence
That keeps the soul from a grand collapse
You're cheered on, however.
The crowd never stops clapping.
Cheered on too far
What happens when you start making scars?
Verse 1:
It scares me
The cult-uprising
It scares me
Knowing the kid
Who brought the gun
And knowing who got shot
Rebellion has begun
Living in feer
Seeing the young killer
Or the one who bit the hand that fed
Fed up, they said to the judge
The judge slammed the gavel
-Community service, shoveling gravel
Chorus:
Let's be Kids Again
Embrace the innocence we once brought in
Be ourselves
Ignoring the pain and sorrow
That always grows around us
Let's be Kids Again
Verse 2:
It's something
I can't figure out
It's too much pressure on us, babe
Roaming the street
Doing dirty things
Pushing away a childhood
Because they were raised in the hood
Oh oh goh oh hoh
Doing things
The older generation can't imagine
My momma told me,
If she did that,
She would have been smaked.
Bridge:
The leather
Has seen the weather
It's dirty now,
Can't take it into town
Wrinkled
Like it's gained 20 years,
Now it manifests our fears.
Let's be Kids Again
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3:
Face first
In the bum-juice
They got nowhere else to go
They run a muck
Their excuse is as simple as:
We got kicked outta the club.
Just the other day,
I saw two kids get cigarettes,
And the clerk looked the other way
He probably charged them more
But it's worth it.
It'll just be sooner
When they hit the floor
Why?
