Children Lyrics
Children shut your eyes
we'll tell you what to see
this world is burnin' down
and you're the ones to lead
now look into their hearts
all those who hold the lead
don't listen to their lies
they only want one thing
well i only want one thing
they'll rob you from the truth
and they'll steal you from our house
the blind leading the blind
don't hang around with their kind
cause i love the life i lead
and i know my enemies
well if God is on our side
well that's all you really need
well that's all we really need
well that's all i really need
follow down the road
i was led before you were born
no its not your choice
to pick your own fight
when you sitting second class
and as long as you're in control
speaking when you're asked
you make your own stand
and you take your own stand
well i'll make my own stand
and i take my own stand
we'll tell you what to see
this world is burnin' down
and you're the ones to lead
all those who hold the lead
don't listen to their lies
they only want one thing
well i only want one thing
and they'll steal you from our house
the blind leading the blind
don't hang around with their kind
and i know my enemies
well if God is on our side
well that's all you really need
well that's all we really need
well that's all i really need
i was led before you were born
no its not your choice
to pick your own fight
and as long as you're in control
speaking when you're asked
you make your own stand
and you take your own stand
well i'll make my own stand
and i take my own stand

"ANNDD I TAKKE MY OWN STANNDDDD ahhhoooooooo ahhhoooooooo ahhhhAHHHHHHHHHOWWWWWW! ahhhhAHHHHHHHHHOWWWWWW!"
killer fucking song.
I must say this song was more amazing live than it was on the album... they do the drums so well and so literally and they just boom and the whole room shakes and it's just amazing.
Just from reading the lyrics, (I know nothing of what the band has or hasn't said), it seems like they're warning the future generations to not make the same mistakes his generation did. Don't follow blindly, don't put absolute faith in something just because you're forced into it...
:shrugs:
Totally agree with Adrienne...What do you mean by absolute faith? Do you take his religious references as sarcasm or literally? I can't quite make up my mind yet.

This song reminds me of a girl I met. She was stuck within the influence of friends and family, and was really distressed by everything that's happening, this song brings comfort to her, telling her if gods on your side, and if you are out looking for good you'll find good, as well as comfort. Her best friend tries to get her to do things that don't reach her standards. She's taking her own stand.
