Sweet Children
Billie Joe Armstrong, John Kiffmeyer, Mike Ryan Pritchard
Sweet young girl so soft and blonde
She does exactly as she's been warned
Intoxication's in her veins
Sweet young boy plays with her brain
Believing all his fake-filled lies
Putting his hands onto her thighs
Impurity has now been gripped
He takes away her innocence
The sweet children
Sweet children
Sweet children
We'll never win
Ooh, and Johnny Ray is running again
As he hits the floor again
Running from the light of day
Or maybe lie and celebrate
A sudden sign comes from his hands
Says, "Follow me if you understand"
He's got the trigger of his gun
The final sin, and now he runs
Sweet children
Sweet children
Sweet children
We'll never win
Ooh, sweet children
Sweet children
Sweet children
We'll never win
