Stephin Merritt - '70: They're k**ing Children Over There lyrics

So we went to see the Jefferson Airplane Odetta was the opening act Grace Slick was young and angry She said "My fellow freaks, it's a fact They're k**ing children over there They're k**ing children over there I know we're not supposed to care But they're still k**ing children over there" Back then I was even younger than Grace Slick Even for my age I was small I thought she meant a ma**acre Was taking place inside that hall They're k**ing children over there They're k**ing children over there I know we're not supposed to care But they're still k**ing children over there Now that everyone is fat and complacent I haven't heard a protest in years We just keep paying our taxes The taxes keep turning the gears They're k**ing children over there They're k**ing children over there I know we're not supposed to care But they're still k**ing children over there
