Children of the Grave (Black Sabbath cover) Lyrics
Revolution in their minds - the children start to march
Against the world in which they have to live
and all the hate that's in their hearts
They're tired of being pushed around
and told just what to do
They'll fight the world until they've won
and hell comes flowing through
In Los Angeles, 1969, they shot, stabbed, and bludgeoned nine people to
death committing one of the most heinous crimes in history.
Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today
Will the sun rise up tomorrow bringing peace in any way?
Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear?
Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear?
In Los Angeles, 1969, they shot, stabbed, and bludgeoned nine people to
death committing one of the most heinous crimes in history.
(Yeah) So you children of the world,
listen to what I say
If you want a better place to live in
spread the words today
Show the world that love is still alive
you must be brave
Or you children of today are
Children of the Grave, Yeah!
Against the world in which they have to live
and all the hate that's in their hearts
They're tired of being pushed around
and told just what to do
They'll fight the world until they've won
and hell comes flowing through
death committing one of the most heinous crimes in history.
Will the sun rise up tomorrow bringing peace in any way?
Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear?
Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear?
death committing one of the most heinous crimes in history.
listen to what I say
If you want a better place to live in
spread the words today
Show the world that love is still alive
you must be brave
Or you children of today are
Children of the Grave, Yeah!

worst. cover. EVER!!!!!!
A Black Sabbath cover, with what seems to be references to Charles Manson. Now that's an oddity...
Black Sabbath did it WAY better
black sabbath did do it better agreed.but white zombie's version kicks so much ass.go fuck yourself if you don't agree.
haven't heard the song, but I like the lyrics.No idea about meaning.
I think White Zombie took a song that was about peace, revolution, and bringing change, and turned it into a song about Charles Manson and Helter Skelter. I still like both the original and this cover though.
