Scary ideas
They scream, they shout,
they behave so loud,
and they got every right to be angry,
dad´s so mad, „...we gave you everything“, he says,
„everything a child could ask for,“
while mom knows wrong from right,
so when she talks she never lies,
but her eyes give away her secrets,
while dad goes on and says,
„why do you behave like that?,
going around, waving the red flag,“
Well, you never really know,
where your kids gonna go,
you can try full on control,
but there´s no guarantee,
that your sons will be free,
from harm and other scary, scary ideas,
Straight back to school they say,
„is there any other way?,
how else are you gonna make a living?,
but that´s not the worst,
we won´t survive the bad word,
that will spread about your misbehaving,
cause you´re free to choose,
ways society approves,
black suit, blue tie, big smile,
why can´t we do like before,
watch the game, eat some more,
why bother about all those starving children,
Cause you never really know,
where your kids gonna go,
you can try full-on control,
but that´s no guarantee,
that your sons will be free,
from harm and other scary, scary ideas
