A world of difference    A world so out of touch    Overwhelmed by everything    But wanting more so much          Call it blind frustration    Call it blind man's bluff    Call each other names    Your voices rude,    Your voices rough    Then you learn the lesson    That it's cool to be so tough          Handle with kid gloves    Handle with kid gloves    Then you learn the lessons    Taught in school won't be enough    Put on your kid gloves    Put on your kid gloves    Then you learn the lesson    That it's cool to be so tough          A world of indifference    Heads and hearts too full    Careless of the consequence    Of constant push and pull          Anger got bare knuckles    Anger play the fool    Anger wear a crown of thorns    Reverse the golden rule    Then you learn the lesson    That it's tough to be so cool          Handle with kid gloves    Handle with kid gloves    Then you learn the weapons    And the ways of hard-knock school    Put on your kid gloves    Put on your kid gloves    Then you learn the lesson    That it's tough to be so cool
