Do you tell your children what you do When they want to tell you The things they’ve heard That can’t be true About the men they’ve learned to hate Who have cast their future to a hopeless fate Surely it can’t be the same one Who kept them safe when they were young The one whose always made things right Reassuring the darkest fright Now he sells life into constant night A man with heart as cold as ice Who’d sell his soul if the price is right Do you tell your children what you do When they want to tell you The things they’ve heard That can’t be true If you really want it Then it will stop The stories always been the same Life Bought and sold For greed and gain What kind of mother Could turn aside And simply ignore The coming tide Watching bonds As old as time Be ripped apart In heartless crime Prisoners of hearts As cold as ice Making other’s lives Pay the price Do you tell your children what you do When they want to tell you The things they’ve heard That can’t be true If you really want it then it will stop Just wanting it won’t make it right If you want it we have to fight If changing lives is the plan Come on and show us you’re a real man It’s not so hard Start from here Give up trading In the marketplace of fear Melt that heart As cold as ice Stop making the planet Pay the price Would you care Would you dare To tell your children what you do
