Well, everything's so different now   This scream which fills the air   And haunts the hall which children   Sleep upon the floor      They'll have the gun, you'll hear them say   With smiles meant to cry   As they wind the watch strapped on the wrist   And quickly look away      And four and six have come and gone   Five times before this scene   And upon the lips of everyone   The curse I've never dreamed   Yeah, upon the lips of everyone   The curse I've never dreamed      It's a complicated situation   It's a complicated situation, mama   I'm a complicated situation      The young must be our sacrifice   They say with crippled grins   The eyes of youth must lose their way   And stumble here within      So the sleeping children were awoke   In time to haze their eyes   So it's never known on which they chokes   Worth books of old and time   So it's never known on which they chokes   Worth books of old and time      It's a complicated situation   It's a complicated situation, mama   I'm a complicated situation
