Letra da Música All The Children de The Airborne Toxic Event

Time stands still when you're always underage
So we learned to fake it
like actors on a stage
Everyone we knew told us just what to do
and how to feel about it
All our illusions fell
We knew them so well
until we learned to doubt all of it

All the children know, if you jump, you fall
And if you jump too high
you fall harder than before
All the children say, "Why'd you let me down?
Tell me, when you going to come around?
I can't live my life underground
Tell me, when you going to come around? "

Calling, mama

Blue lights and shadows
we grew up way too fast
They stole our future
But they can't steal our past
Everyone knows that's where you go
if you have to run now
If I'm not back by dawn
tell them I'll be gone
and I'll stay gone somehow

All the children know, if you jump, you fall
And if you jump too high
you fall harder than before
All the children say, "Why'd you let me down?
Tell me, when you going to come around?
I can't live my life underground
Tell me, when you going to come around? "

(Hold your tongue...)

Stop staring, stop staring
stop staring, oh stop staring
Stop staring, stop staring
stop staring, oh stop staring
Stop staring, stop staring
stop staring, oh stop staring at everyone

All the children know if you run, you fall
And if you run too fast
you'll fall harder than before
All the children say, "Why'd you let me down?
Tell me, when you going to come around?
I can't live my life underground
Tell me, when you going to come around? "

Calling, mama
