Johnny Cash is dead, and so is Johnny
But the only person left worth listening to's my pervert cousin
But he said the radio is garbage and the internet is crap
Heard him puking on the microphone, he thinks they call it rap
He said fuck a Rocky bottom, he would rather hit the rock
Told me if he got the cancer, he would go and kill a cop
Said he never wants no mortgage and he never wants no kids
The only thing he expects in life is to get it how he lives
So hey now, hey now
The children are awake now, pipe down
It's more than they can take, or take down
If they don't catch a break they'll break down
All I hear is "Hey now, hey now"
The children are awake now, pipe down
It's more than they can take, or take down
If they don't catch a break they'll break down
The more my cousin thought, the heavier he drank
He said, "If I was you, I'd take all of your money out the bank"
"'Cause they'll be appropriating everything when the shit hits the fan
Please always remember those three words I told you: fuck the man"
He said, "Always watch your back, there's nobody you can trust
The government will take your money
Then they'll kick you in the (gut)
If the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting killed
If we don't stand up for ourselves, I'm sure as hell nobody will"
Hey now, hey now
The children are awake now, pipe down
It's more than they can take, or take down
If they don't catch a break they'll break down
All I hear is "Hey now, hey now"
The children are awake now, pipe down
It's more than they can take, or take down
If they don't catch a break they'll break down
These days I'm just trying to get my bills paid
Had a dream of getting rich since the first grade
And I can't afford to fuck up my master plan
So I'm feeling pressure to behave
I could sell some weed
Flip a bag just like my homies do
I'm a mess up, no luck, yeah, get charged
Don't take my license, dude
They're never gonna get it, the problems of underprivileged
On a one-way train to being thugs of every citizen
The plot thickens, except the powers are listless
Act as if you got nothing to lose, I'm fucking sick of it
We can no longer stay silent
Because we're surrounded by violence
An eye for an eye 'til they meet their demise
Because we've all already been blinded, come on
Stop, children, what's that sound?
If something's in your way, go and burn it down
Stop, children, what's that sound?
If something's in your way, go and burn it down
Hey now, hey now
The children are awake now, pipe down
It's more than they can take, or take down
If they don't catch a break they'll break down
All I hear is "Hey now, hey now"
The children are awake now, pipe down
It's more than they can take, or take down
If they don't catch a break they'll break down
All I hear is "Hey now, hey now"
The children are awake
