Some a' them never comin' back
We are powerless to stop them
As they vanish from our sight
Little boys dig tunnels
Into the ground they go
Hundreds of them, disappear
Little soldiers on patrol
Singing, don't want, don't want
Don't want to be part of your world
And we don't want, don't want
Don't want to be part of your world
Underneath the floorboards
In between the walls
Everywhere there's filled with children
Say goodbye to boys and girls
"We promise to be better"
Said the folks at home
"But it really doesn't matter"
Said their daughters and their sons
Singing, don't want, don't want
Don't want to be part of your world
And we don't want, don't want
Don't want to be part of your world
And we don't want, don't want
Don't want to be part of your world
And we don't want, don't want
Don't want to be part of your world
Free from greed and hunger
Free from hate and war
Thousands of them altogether
We are here and there they are
Singing, don't want, don't want
Don't want to be part of your world
And we don't want, don't want
Don't want to be part of your world
And we don't want, don't want
Don't want to be part of your world
And we don't want, don't want
Don't want to be part of your world
And we don't want, don't want
Don't want to be part of your world
And we don't want, don't want
Don't want to be part of your world
Little girls go float upstream Some a' them never comin' back We are powerless to stop them As they vanish from our sight Little boys dig tunnels Into the ground they go Hundreds of them, disappear Little soldiers on patrol Singing, don't want, don't want Don't want to be part of your world And we don't want, don't want Don't want to be part of your world Underneath the floorboards In between the walls Everywhere there's filled with children Say goodbye to boys and girls "We promise to be better" Said the folks at home "But it really doesn't matter" Said their daughters and their sons Singing, don't want, don't want Don't want to be part of your world And we don't want, don't want Don't want to be part of your world And we don't want, don't want Don't want to be part of your world And we don't want, don't want Don't want to be part of your world Free from greed and hunger Free from hate and war Thousands of them altogether We are here and there they are Singing, don't want, don't want Don't want to be part of your world And we don't want, don't want Don't want to be part of your world And we don't want, don't want Don't want to be part of your world And we don't want, don't want Don't want to be part of your world And we don't want, don't want Don't want to be part of your world And we don't want, don't want Don't want to be part of your world Explain Request ×
