[chorus]
lord, lord, lord, lord
god save the children
we’re living in trying times
god save the children
perils and temptations
god save the children
who’s gonna lead them
when adults can’t lead themselves

[verse 1]
yeah!
said i wanna live the right way
but doing wrong seems to be the easy way
i could tell you how to live by what i say
but living by example is so hard today
plus i found out these preachers and teachers they ain’t
pretending to be righteous but so far from it
i had role models that went insane
and a n-gga feared that he might do the same
’cause i got notorious desires
these things just ain’t gon’ take one higher
the world’s moving in the right direction
but we’re moving in the opposite direction
yeah we’re living futuristic
but we’re living voyeuristic
watching like big brother
never caring – oh mother!
activities of unhealthy living
life’s getting shorter
oh brother, where at thou?

[verse 2]
these government rulers are pimps and ballers
stacking the nation’s stash in pounds and dollars
pimping teenage girls and young scholars
i heard some got young men up in tha (-bleep)
millions spent in vacations around the globe
they lounge in resorts and hotels when they’ve got homes
misuse power they say they got authority
they’re privatizing everything to personal property
and did i mention, not paying the pension
of those who served the nation crazy situation
people in the ghetto suffering and smiling
while they’re out there balling and wilding
but in the meantime you can catch me in the slum
singing a song for hope
tell the people it’s gonna be okay
maybe not today but tomorrow
maybe it could help heal their sorrow

[verse 3]
a huge propagation of tribal war
peace & unity -a myth or something that was?
kids grow to hate one another
the fight’s inherited from fathers and mothers
all that’s on tv is propaganda
tryna be what’s promoted by the media
so who are celebrities?
people with low morals or responsibilities?
kids look up to these and pdas
‘long is on the internet believe what it says
rise of the machine becomes the fall of man
being adult is so hard to understand
so how do they fulfill god’s perfect plan
and know what it means to be man or woman?
how do they fulfill god’s perfect plan
and know what it means to be man or woman?

lord, lord, lord, lord
god save the children
we’re living in trying times
god save the children
perils and temptations
god save the children
who’s gonna lead them
when adults can’t lead themselves
