you don't stop not even to rest   You clean up the mess you made out of our lives   for the last time tonight   let them see the lighter in your eyes      they're the last ones down   but they're the first ones out   you're telling the stories   you're selling the glory to the kids on the bad side of town   and they say (woah woah woah)   cross our fingers (woah woah woah)   for all believers (woah woah woah)   Only one can enter it[?]      Chorus:   The truth is you see troops, not children (woah oh oh)   you smile and you pretend as you hand guns out to my friends   You sell these kids a new beginning (woah oh oh)   You smile and you pretend as you hand guns out, guns out to my friends      A new crop so hard to resist   you're selling the kids with limited options to the lowest bid   safety in numbers proved wrong again      they're the last ones down   but they're the first ones out   you're telling the stories   you're selling the glory to the kids on the bad side of town      The truth is you see troops, not children (woah oh oh)   you smile and you pretend as you hand guns out to my friends   You sell these kids a new beginning (woah oh oh)   You smile and you pretend as you hand guns out, guns out to my friends      I gotta know who you are, [the suspence is killing me]   the kids are back together while you set them up to take the fall   I gotta know who you are [the suspence is killing me]   The kids are back togethere while you set them up to take the fall      The kids are running on alcohol   with no clue, their backs against the wall
