LITTLE MINDS

Before you fight again tonight

Before you say those awful things

Before you claim to be good parents

Better listen to me...

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Little eyes see everything

Little ears hear every word

Little minds absorb it all
And little mouths repeat your dirt
Go  somewhere else to air it out
In their presence keep it hid
They don’t deserve to hear these things
They’re only little kids
~~*~~

So you like the song that’s playing
Repeating every vile word
It’s not okay, in any way
For your five year old to learn
Maybe it’s time to grow up
And stop thinking of yourself
Imagine that you’re doing well
Why don’t you ask somebody else


~~~*Chorus*~~~
Little eyes see everything
Little ears hear every word
Little minds absorb it all
And little mouths repeat your dirt
Go somewhere else to air it out
In their presence keep it hid
They don’t deserve to hear these things
They’re only little kids
~~*~~

You call their Dad a worthless bum
You call their Mom a dirty name
They grow up with no sense of pride
You only have yourselves to blame
When you brought them in to this world
Did you plan on this abuse
Why do you keep on hurting them
Come on and tell me your excuse


~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
Not everyone should have a child
When you teach them how to hate
Some parents don’t deserve the name
But they wake up far too late
Those little souls grow warped and cold
From the awful things they've learned
Well, I won’t pat you on the back
It's nothing you have earned
~~*~~

~~~*Final Chorus*~~~
Little eyes see everything
Little ears hear every word
Little minds absorb it all
And little mouths repeat your dirt
Go somewhere else to air it out
In their presence keep it hid
They don’t deserve to hear these things
They’re only little kids
