Jimmy Jam - Livin' In A World (They Didn't Make) lyrics

Children are called the future Of an adult world They are born with spirits so innocent 'Til we teach them how to hate Add to the world's confusion We teach our kids rules That we don't adhere to ourselves Right or wrong What examples can they take? The people we learn from Forge the ideas we become Livin' in a world they didn't make Livin' in a world that's filled with hate Livin' in a world where grown-ups Break the rules Livin' in a world they didn't make Payin' for a lot of adult mistakes How much of this madness can they take Our children? Children grow to become Our young adults Problems of the world They must learn how to confront Doin' d**, joinin' gangs to rebel Colors show they belong To the social override 'Cause they're livin' in a space They feel out of place Livin' in a world they didn't make Livin' in a world that's filled with hate Livin' in a world where grown-ups Break the rules Livin' in a world they didn't make Payin' for a lot of adult mistakes How much of this madness can they take Our children? Livin' in a world they didn't make Livin' in a world that's filled with hate Livin' in a world where grown-ups Break the rules Livin' in a world they didn't make Payin' for a lot of adult mistakes How much of this madness can they take Our children? How much can they take? Children of the world They are all so innocent How much can they take? How much can they take? [Incomprehensible]
