The kids of the ninth grade have scared you to death
And that doesn’t seem to be the golden century now
And you always moan: “What will they become?”
And your lack of communication lets you hand them a gun
They lie on that green isle’s hill
Can you see how their black blood spills?
They sink in their burning tears
Can you see how their black blood spills?
You show what you know about education
And your teacher preaches the madness of your civilisation
And the ones who fell in love now, won’t never forgive
You crowded them on the island to see who is worth to live
Because the credo of the game is to win or die!
Well, that sounds familiar to me
They lie on that green isle’s hill
Can you see how their black blood spills?
They sink in their burning tears
Can you see how their black blood spills?
Maybe you have fun with that
Repeating the patterns of the past
A slaughter for the civilized world
Won’t make you feel safe
If they run away
