Oh no oh no, theyre tearing it apart
So sad so sad, but it was doomed right from the start
Too bad too bad, you looked the other way
What now what now, well theres nothing more to say

This is the end of innocence
You let it slip away

You think you know whats going on
But you dont
You think your rights will right their wrong
But they wont

Too short too short, and you just let it go
So young so young, but noone would ever know
Act now act now, protect them from the pain
Its your fault its your fault, youre the only ones to blame

This is the end of innocence
You let it slip away

You think you know whats going on
But you dont
You think your rights will right their wrong
But they wont

Gotta let the children be children
They grow up so fast anyway
Gotta let the children be children
Dont help them throw it away

You think you know whats going on
But you dont
You think your rights will right their wrong
But they wont
You think you know whats going on
But you dont
You think your rights will right their wrong
But they wont
