"The Subsequent Rating Given To The Life And Times Of Jack Valenti" lyrics
Imagine a place where I wasn't so impressionable
And everything you do and say is not a blueprint for me to choose
I didn't see and I never killed anything
I never cussed and I never heard anything
I saw the choice and I carried out everything
Think of the children, what of the children?
Think of the children, what becomes of anything?
Think of the children, I protect the children!
Think of the children, what becomes of anything?
So to survive, to stay alive, I must end the pleasures
I afford myself everyday
Fate understands and he holds it in his hands
In his hands, in his hands
But it wasn't what I planned
All that you see is a reflection back to me
Back to me, back to me
So I'm never truly free to live
Imagine a time when the programs weren't miserable
And what you view you would digest and escape from your memory
Imagine a day with our actions unaffordable
And we can stop the turning of the Earth with a single word
I didn't see and I never killed anything
I never cussed and I never heard anything
I saw the choice and I carried out everything
Think of the children, what of the children?
Think of the children, what becomes of anything?
Think of the children, I protect the children!
Think of the children, what becomes of anything?
So to survive, to stay alive, I must end the pleasures
I afford myself everyday
Fate understands and he holds it in his hands
In his hands, in his hands
But it wasn't what I planned
All that you see is a reflection back to me
Back to me, back to me
So I'm never truly free
Fate understands and he holds it in his hands
And I think I understand
But it wasn't what I planned
All that you see is a reflection back to me
I must hinder what they see
So I'm never truly free to live
I must pass my genes into the next generation
That generation must pass them on again
I must pass my genes into the next generation
Those genes must carry on until the end
I must pass my genes into the next generation
That generation must pass them on again
I must pass my genes into the next generation
Those genes must carry on until the end
And all is well, that ends well
And all is well, that ends well
And everything you do and say is not a blueprint for me to choose
I didn't see and I never killed anything
I never cussed and I never heard anything
I saw the choice and I carried out everything
Think of the children, what of the children?
Think of the children, what becomes of anything?
Think of the children, I protect the children!
Think of the children, what becomes of anything?
So to survive, to stay alive, I must end the pleasures
I afford myself everyday
Fate understands and he holds it in his hands
In his hands, in his hands
But it wasn't what I planned
All that you see is a reflection back to me
Back to me, back to me
So I'm never truly free to live
Imagine a time when the programs weren't miserable
And what you view you would digest and escape from your memory
Imagine a day with our actions unaffordable
And we can stop the turning of the Earth with a single word
I didn't see and I never killed anything
I never cussed and I never heard anything
I saw the choice and I carried out everything
Think of the children, what of the children?
Think of the children, what becomes of anything?
Think of the children, I protect the children!
Think of the children, what becomes of anything?
So to survive, to stay alive, I must end the pleasures
I afford myself everyday
Fate understands and he holds it in his hands
In his hands, in his hands
But it wasn't what I planned
All that you see is a reflection back to me
Back to me, back to me
So I'm never truly free
Fate understands and he holds it in his hands
And I think I understand
But it wasn't what I planned
All that you see is a reflection back to me
I must hinder what they see
So I'm never truly free to live
I must pass my genes into the next generation
That generation must pass them on again
I must pass my genes into the next generation
Those genes must carry on until the end
I must pass my genes into the next generation
That generation must pass them on again
I must pass my genes into the next generation
Those genes must carry on until the end
And all is well, that ends well
And all is well, that ends well
