They cry in the dark, so you can't see their tears   They hide in the light, so you can't see their fears   Forgive and forget, all the while   Love and pain become one and the same   In the eyes of a wounded child      Because hell   Hell is for children   And you know that their little lives can become such a mess   Hell   Hell is for children   And you shouldn't have to pay for your love   With your bones and your flesh      It's all so confusing, this brutal abusing   They blacken your eyes, and then apologize   You're daddy's good girl, and don't tell mommy a thing   Be a good little boy, and you'll get a new toy   Tell grandma you fell off the swing      Because hell   Hell is for children   And you know that their little lives can become such a mess   Hell   Hell is for children   And you shouldn't have to pay for your love   With your bones and your flesh   No, hell is for children      Hell   Hell is for hell   Hell is for hell   Hell is for children      Hell   Hell is for hell   Hell is for hell   Hell is for children      Hell   Hell is for hell   Hell is for hell   Hell is for children   Hell is for children   Hell is for children
