children
This is a very "society is evil" based somg...What i'm trying to say here is that these people were born innocent (i.e. children) and were put in horrible situations---mainly by themselves. The "i" here is almost sad, but mostly simply courteous because of conditioning to make him/her desensitized to the situation. Each of the situations are everyday, everywhere, so no one really pays attention to them anymore. This song really tries to focus on the coming into adulthood of the situation, having to grow out of the freedoms of an innocent childhood.

  home alone agian
  it's 2 am
  so sit and watch the cars go by

  time to cry again
  another child dead
  i hear the ambulance come

  victems of the world so many
  you and i and that old man
  used to laugh and smile
  (i) used to be a child

  abusive fights again
  but she thinks he loves her
  and it's a phase he'll pass on by

  car is gone again
  she'd wonder where he was
  but she hontestly don't care

  victems of the world can it be
  insensitive to hear that maybe
  he'll be back when she wakes up
  (she) used to be a child

  i believe in snowballs and in pillowfights
  but i believe that war has taken all our lives
  *music break*

  rapist walks again
  life sentance is only 10 years
  they can't afford to keep him in

  by himself again
  got no job, no home or hope
  only choice is to get back in

  victems of the world together
  blissful in their ignorance
  hept him chothed and fed for so long
  (he) used to be a child
 
  used to be a child
