Lyrics:

Let me find the way that I can make do
Without circumstance, without follow through
A man in desperation can't trust a troubled mind
I'm building an empire, say I'm wrong
I don't mind if it's all against one
No room for weakness, I'll be gone forever
Dear mother, as this noose is placed around my neck
I'm reflecting on these past few years I spent trying to forget
I'm regretting all this time spent half the world away
What will the children sing, what will the children sing,
When I'm dead and buried?
(Dead and buried)
I've slipped through the cracks
I hold nothing back
Dear mother, as this noose is placed around my neck
I'm reflecting on these past few years I spent trying to forget
I'm regretting all this time spent half the world away
What will the children sing, what will the children sing,
When I'm dead and buried?
(Dead and buried)
Never thought it'd be easy 'cause it's not if it's worth to have
It'll pass you by you have a choice, be your own person, have your own voice
So let's set it off!
Dear mother, as this noose is placed around my neck
I'm reflecting on these past few years I spent trying to forget
I'm regretting all this time spent half the world away
What will the children sing, what will the children sing,
When I'm dead and buried?
