LYRICS

HANDS OFF OUR KIDS
THE RHYME IT SWAYS
LIKE AN OLD CLOCK PENDULUM
FOR YOU IT PLAYS

MY TIME IS READY
FOR A NOTE TO DISPLAY
YOUR TIME BOUGHT TIME
TO HOLD BACK ALL OF YOUR DAYS

WON'T BACK DOWN

NO I WON'T BACK DOWN

YOU COULD STAND ME UP AT THE GATES OF HELL

BUT I WON'T BACK DOWN

NO I'LL STAND MY GROUND

WON'T BE TURNED AROUND

AND I'LL KEEP THIS WORLD FROM DRAGGIN ME DOWN

GONNA STAND MY GROUND

AND I WON'T BACK DOWN

OH SHIPS IN THE NIGHT
FEARS IN THE FUTURE
WHAT SHOULD'VE CAUGHT YA
THE ONE THAT BOOTS YA
THERE AIN'T NO EZ WAY OUT

BUT TIME PASSES, TIME FLIES
AND OLD WAYS DIE
THE WORLD KEEPS ON SLIPPIN
INTO THE FUTURE

AND I WON'T BACK DOWN

OH OH WHY

WELL I KNOW WHAT'S RIGHT

I GOT JUST ONE LIFE

IN A WORLD THAT KEEPS ON PUSHING ME AROUND

GONNA STAND MY GROUND

AND I WON'T BACK DOWN

WHAT COULD IT POSSIBLY BE

THAT BOUGHT YA KIDS OFF YA

WHAT COULD HAVE TAKEN THEM

CHANGED THEM & MOULDED YA

THERE AIN'T NO EASY WAY OUT

WHAT WAS IT THAT MADE YOU GIVE THEM AWAY

TO THE HANDS OF THE GONE & WASHED AWAY

TIME READS YOU

LIKE A CHILDS BOOK

TIME HOLDS YOU

FROM THE STORIES YOU TOOK

TIME MENTIONS YOU

BUT ONE DAY TOO LATE

TIME OPENS YOU UP

& STEALS YOUR FATE

WHAT IS IT IN YOU THAT MADE YOU GIVE THEM AWAY

TO BE TAUGHT BY A SYSTEM THAT CHANGES THEIR DAY

FROM A BIRDS SONG IN THE MORNING TO A BIRD MADE OF CLAY

THEIR EYES AIN'T OPENED BY WHAT THEY'LL READ TODAY

THEIR STORIES ARE BROKEN

IN EVIL THEY LAY

A STORY PIERCED THROUGH

AN EVIL CHANGED WAY

IN DUST THEY ARE BROKEN

CHANGE CAME, WAS SPOKEN

BUT YOU'LL REST JUST ANOTHER DAY

AS IF LIFE WAS NOT PRECIOUS

NOT PRECIOUS TODAY

YEAH YOUR CHILDREN ARE TAUGHT

TAUGHT BY THE BOUGHT

YOU, YOU BOUGHT WHAT THEY WERE TAUGHT

THERE AIN'T NO EASY WAY OUT

NOW YOU LIE IN THE DUST

THE TRAINWRECK YOU THOUGHT

WOULD HOLD YOU AND KEEP YOU...

WON'T BACK DOWN

YEAH YOUR CHILDREN ARE TAUGHT

TAUGHT BY THE BOUGHT

YOU, YOU BOUGHT WHAT THEY WERE TAUGHT

THERE AIN'T NO EASY WAY OUT

NOW YOU LIE IN THE DUST

THE TRAINWRECK YOU THOUGHT

WOULD HOLD YOU AND KEEP YOU

BUT IT ONLY FORCED

YOU TO SEE THE LIGHT IN YOU

WAS SOLD,

NOT TAKEN BY FORCE
