The Otherwise - Dear Children

I see the melting colours
Dripping down from my TV
I say hello to my disease
Screen full of smiling faces
All crippled by their grief
Singing oh my god my god just lied to me
He lied to me

Dear children you don't know
Where the claws are next to go
Just be mindful of the smiles you think you see
Don't be shy or confused
Don't be unprepared, afraid
Don't get used or exploited, underpaid

Trust yourself, trust the sun
Trust no man that trusts no one
Singin', I'll take the god that's gonna leave it all up to me
Yeah leave it all up to me

And if the sky should fall away
Let Henny Penny have her day
Count one to ten and see who's left
They'll scamper to and fro
And they'll be too scared to go
And then they'll sing almighty He lied to me

And as the wind had come to ease
We heard the politician's pleas
We'd like our rooves fixed straight away
But the children weren't amused
They said "our cubby's beaten too
And we'll not be last in from this driving rain"

We trust ourselves, trust the sun
Trust no man that trusts no one
Singin', I'll take the god that's gonna leave it all up to me
Yeah leave it all up to me
Yeah leave it all up to me
Yeah leave it all up to me
