Lyrics:
Take your first look around And see the world you're coming into Ah, have a good cry I sympathize with you Ah, forever gone is your serenity For the fleeing fawn There's no sacred tree They'll try to make Hypocrisy of your heredity So choose your views most carefully The future's hope is on What you turn out to be [Chorus:] Child of our times Child of our times Product of our society What will you grow up to respect Tell me what will you Grow up to protect In your burning, turning mind You are your own worst enemy Every minute you're alive You're that much closer to death So try to make the most of Each precious breath Ah, don't wave banners You don't believe parasite You'll have to discover Your own wrong and right Just color your perspectives Black and white They'll label you weird But that's all right They'll thank you in the end After they've seen the light [Repeat chorus] Ah, the heroes of the past Were all good guys But the leaders of the next war No one will memorize Only the orphan child Will sound the cries Of a mistake that could Never be rectified I'm telling you now 'Cause you can stop it if you try [Repeat chorus] Child of our times
