Leave The Children Alone

They cry out, "Let kids be kids!"

While the kids are shaking in their beds...

Hearing fists pound the front door,

Seeing cops arrest their moms and dads.

/

The boogeyman is real,

But they're not monsters like on TV.

They're people just like us,

But clearly missing their humanity.

/

If you can see a child crying desperately,

For their parents who are gone...

I hope your body's never found

When the rebels right your wrongs.

/

For every bruise upon every child's face,

You should get twice more.

For every woman than you beat and rape,

You should get the same when you're caught.

/

We know what happens in the dark

When the warehouse lights all dim...

I hope a hell exists for you

To burn alive in your every sin.

/

Leave the children alone,

Or you will never be alone again.

We will be in your blood,

In your cells,

In your useless, callous heart,

In your festering, rotting skin.

/

Leave the children alone,

Or you'll never know daylight again.

We will be in your bones,

In your empty, thoughtless head...

In the tips of your blood-soaked fingers,

In the cancerous lesions on your neck.

/

This isn't a threat--

It's a promise.

You'll one day stand before a court

Or before a firing squad

Or before a noose.

And all your victims will be waiting...

Both alive and dead.
