You Should Be Ashamed

When "darkness" leaks into the mind Of the young who are thought to be blind Steps are taken and moves are made To make the thoughts mist and fade Poison! We shout. The risk is too great Daring individualism it poses to create For why would we want to expose The truth, we quietly lie, dispose Shielding them from reality, never letting loose All the while you're just tying tighter, their noose Strangle them with lies Ignore their cries Things are out of hand Childhood is becoming much too bland Facts of life become sensitive topics And you say the media is toxic It's you who make their lives dishonest Preventing them from understanding what's best Minds with chains and a veil over their innocent eyes Your security lasts until that final lie dies Freedom kills what you built for the first few years You can deal with the coming exposure and their questioning tears Don't you dare say I never warned you I won't be blamed for explanations way past due
