excellent! I was looking for these. thanks. btw I think there are a few minor mistakes on the transcript above. may want to look into them.

We are children and we'll give you trouble If we don't like what you're doing And we thought forgetting is wrong

Now we're satisfied, but when we're not We are taking lives and making drones

That awful void we plant in front of us reclaims a child Dadadada dada dadada dadada dada Dadadada dada dadada dadada dada dadada

We are the children, not the youth, not kids But is not time to pretend, my friend This might just be the end

Shadow life that sits outside your doors Will live inside your walls, beneath your floors

That awful void we plant in front of us reclaims a child Dadadada dada dadada dadada dada Dadadada dada dadada dadada dada dadada
