WICKED MINDS

I don't know if I'm crying

Out of hatred or of fear

Feeling helpless, my hands tied

While children disappear

And how, in this lifetime, 

Can you ever justify

Letting these things happen

While protecting wicked minds

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Will this be a story we can't tell

Too close to the truth

Our own glimpse of Hell

You protect the wrong side

That makes you guilty too

Why not fight for the children

Like you're supposed to do

~~*~~

I know that I am crying

Because I am so ashamed

That our country, with such strength

Would abandon kids this way

And how, in this lifetime, 

Can you ever justify

Letting these things happen

Stop protecting wicked minds

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

Don't protect them, let them suffer 

For the heinous things they've done

Put them with each other

With no way to plea or run

Don't house, and feed, and pay them

So that they'll attack again

Please protect our children

So this nightmare finds an end

~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Will this be a story we can't tell

Too close to the truth

Our own glimpse of Hell

You protect the wrong side

That makes you guilty too

Why not fight for the children

Like you're supposed to do

~~*~~
