Your dreams like the smoke from a blaze
cnd everything you do you do for you
You see that there is suffering all around the family
But you don't move

Your life like a book that you read
Meant to be a cautionary tale
Your lack of love was dangerous
But now it's real

cnd you know if you look
ct all that you own

Taken from your children
Taken from your children
Lying to your children
Lying to your children

Your wealth like a river that you stopped
Instead of flowing out goes back to you
cnd all of your ambition's got you rough around the boundaries
So you're so cruel

Your son with an idea of his own
Tries to be exactly what you need
He plays his hand and then he knows
cnd you don't breathe

cnd you know if you look
ct all that you own

Taken from your children
Taken from your children
Lying to your children
Lying to your children
