Lyrics

Imagine a place where I wasn't so impressionable
And everything you do and say is not a blueprint for me to choose

I didn't see and I never killed anything
I never cussed and I never heard anything
I saw the choice and I carried out everything

Think of the children, what of the children
Think of the children, what becomes of anything
Think of the children, I protect the children
Think of the children, what becomes of anything
So to survive, to stay alive I must end the pleasures
I afford myself everyday

Fate understands and he holds it in his hands
In his hands, in his hands
But it wasn't what I planned
All that you see is a reflection back to me
Back to me, back to me
So I'm never truly free to live

Imagine a time when the programs weren't miserable
And what you view you would digest and escape from your memory
Imagine a day with our actions unaffordable
And we can stop the turning of the earth with a single word

I didn't see and I never killed anything
I never cussed and I never heard anything
I saw the choice and I carried out everything

Think of the children, what of the children
Think of the children, what becomes of anything
Think of the children, I protect the children
Think of the children, what becomes of anything
So to survive, to stay alive I must end the pleasures
I afford myself everyday

Fate understands and he holds it in his hands
In his hands, in his hands
But it wasn't what I planned
All that you see is a reflection back to me
Back to me, back to me
So I'm never truly free

Fate understands and he holds it in his hands
And I think I understand, but it wasn't what I planned
All that you see is a reflection back to me
I must hinder what they see, so I'm never truly free to live

I must pass my genes into the next generation
That generation must pass them on again
I must pass my genes into the next generation
Those genes must carry on until the end
I must pass my genes into the next generation
That generation must pass them on again
I must pass my genes into the next generation
Those genes must carry on until the end

And all is well, that ends well
And all is well, that ends well
