It's For The Kids

  • I'm sticking to the plan, never improvise
    Cut off all attachments, I cross the line
    Empathy is weakness, and I don't give a shit
    An economy of aggression, no throat left unslit

    It's for the kids beyond repair
    Your words mean nothing, just dead thoughts and prayers
    You never change one goddamn thing
    Your thoughts and prayers mean nothing

    I don't need answers, I just want blame
    I point the finger and blacken a name
    You make it easy by showing your cards
    Endowed by nature, shaped by nurture, hits you fucking hard

    It's for the kids beyond repair
    Your words mean nothing, just dead thoughts and prayers
    You never change one goddamn thing
    Your thoughts and prayers mean nothing

    It's for the kids beyond repair
    Your words mean nothing, just dead thoughts and prayers
    You never change one goddamn thing
    Your thoughts and prayers mean nothing

    You crossed the line, and the smell of death is on you
    You crossed the line, and the worst is yet to find you
    Spit your lies, we're all gonna die (die)
    Nobody cares and the truth is hard and cold

    For all of us beyond repair
    Your words mean nothing, just dead thoughts and prayers
    You never change one goddamn thing
    Your thoughts and prayers mean nothing

    Nothing
