Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Tak[A]e your first look around
And see the world [D]you're coming into
Ah, [A]have a good cry
I sympathize with [D]you

[Verse 2]
Ah, [G]forever gone is your [F#m]serenity
For [G]the fleeing fawn
There's [F#m]no sacred tree
They'll [G]try to make
Hypocrisy of [F#m]your heredity

[Verse 3]
So [G]choose your views [F#m]most carefully
The [G]future's hope is on
[Em]What you turn out to be[A]

[Verse 4]
[D][Chorus]
Child of our times
[G]Child of our times
[A]Product of our socie[D]ty
[Bm]What will you grow up [G]to respect
Tell me [Bm]what will you
Grow up [G]to protect
[Bm]In your burning, t[G]urning mind
You [A]are your own [Em]worst
[D]enemy
[G][F#m][Em][D]

[Verse 5]
Every [A]minute you're alive
You're that much closer to [D]death
So [A]try to make the most of
Each precious breath
[D]

[Verse 6]
Ah, don't [G]wave banners
You don't be[F#m]lieve parasite
You'll [G]have to discover
Your [F#m]own wrong and right
[G]Just color your perspectives
[F#m]Black and white

[Verse 7]
They'll [G]label you weird
But [F#m]that's all right
[G]They'll thank you in the end
[Em]After they've seen the light[A]

[Verse 8]
[Chorus] [G]Ah, the
heroes of the past
Were [F#m]all good guys
But the [G]leaders of the next war
No [F#m]one will memorize

[Verse 9]
[G]Only the orphan child
[F#m]Will sound the cries
Of a mis[G]take that could
Never [F#m]be rectified
I'm [G]telling you now
Cause you [Em]can stop it if you try
[A]
