The children are all leaving school today
Mama said, Dont worry, Ill
be
back
one
day
The blue men in uniform smiled and waved goodbye
She was hiding those tears in her eyes
Roll up the history books, burn the chairs
Set fire to anything, set fire to the air
They're [unverified] to begin and running at the end
'Cause Mama said, You
take
your
life
in
your
hands
Taking your life, your life in your hands
But don't take your life in your hands like I did
I don't feel so bad, and always look forward with hope
Forward and hope that the children will always be there
Cancel the day, cancel the night
Cancel the day, cancel the night
'Cause who could be watching when she steals and runs away
Full of hysterical laughter, and say
Mama,
Mama,
Ive left school today
I hope, I get to see you in that funny school far away
But those gentlemen in blue, and those in gray
Say, Ill
never,
never
see
mama
again
'Cause she took those lives in her hands
Yes, she took all those lives in her hands
Yes, she took all those lives in her hands
But let me wonder, what was there left in those hands?
