Crianças são chamadas de futuro em um mundo adulto Children are called the future of an adult world Elas nascem com espíritos tão inocentes They are born with spirits so innocent Até que as ensinamos como odiar Till we teach them how to hate Colocamos eles na confusão do mundo Add to the world's confusion Ensinamos regras às nossas crianças We teach our kids rules Que não aderimos a nós mesmos That we don't adhere to ourselves Certo ou errado Right or wrong Que exemplo elas poderão ter? What examples can they take? Das pessoas que nós aprendemos The people we learn from Forjam as idéias que nos transforma Forge the ideas we become
Vivendo em mundo que elas não fizeram Livin' in a world they didn't make Vivendo em mundo que é cheio de ódio Livin' in a world that's filled with hate Vivendo em um mundo onde os adultos quebram as regras Livin' in a world where grown-ups break the rules Vivendo em mundo que elas não fizeram (And they're just) Pagando por monte de erros dos adultos Livin' in a world they didn't make O quanto desta loucura poderá atingir Payin' for a lot of adult mistakes As nossas crianças? How much of this madness can they take, our children?
As crianças crescem, para se tornarem nossos jovens adultos Children grow to become our young adults Problemas do mundo Problems of the world Elas devem aprender a confrontá-los They must learn how to confront Usando drogas e se unindo à gangues para se rebelar Doin' drugs, joinin' gangs to rebel As cores mostram que elas pertencem Colors show they belong Á uma desigualdade social To the social override Pois elas vivem em um lugar 'Cause they're livin' in a space Se sentindo deslocadas They feel out of place
