And So It Went - Commentary
And so it went, the children lost their minds
Beggin' for forgiveness was such a waste of time
And the bullets start to fly, and the bough's about to break
When you hear them cry, it's too much for me to take
They said the world does not belong to you
You are not the king, I am not the fool
They said the world does not belong to you
It don't belong to you, it belongs to me
And so it went, the children lost their minds
Crawlin' over bodies of those who gave their lives
And the fists began to throw, and the fire starts to blaze
Don't you think they know they're fuckin' human race?
They said the world does not belong to you
You are not the king, I am not the fool
They said the world does not belong to you
It don't belong to you, it belongs to—
Everyone is cryin' out, I can hear them scream
With all these eyes upon us, but no one seems to see
That you and me are just the same as God meant it to be
But you're much too close to me, you're much too close to me
And so it went, the children lost their minds
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
And the wind begins to howl, and the wolf is at your door
You have so much of everything, but still you wanted more
They said the world does not belong to you
You are not the king, I am not the fool
They said the world does not belong to you
It don't belong to you, it belongs to me
They said the world does not belong to you
You are not the king, I am not the fool
They said the world does not belong to you
It don't belong to you, it belongs to me
Beggin' for forgiveness was such a waste of time
And the bullets start to fly, and the bough's about to break
When you hear them cry, it's too much for me to take
They said the world does not belong to you
You are not the king, I am not the fool
They said the world does not belong to you
It don't belong to you, it belongs to me
And so it went, the children lost their minds
Crawlin' over bodies of those who gave their lives
And the fists began to throw, and the fire starts to blaze
Don't you think they know they're fuckin' human race?
They said the world does not belong to you
You are not the king, I am not the fool
They said the world does not belong to you
It don't belong to you, it belongs to—
Everyone is cryin' out, I can hear them scream
With all these eyes upon us, but no one seems to see
That you and me are just the same as God meant it to be
But you're much too close to me, you're much too close to me
And so it went, the children lost their minds
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
And the wind begins to howl, and the wolf is at your door
You have so much of everything, but still you wanted more
They said the world does not belong to you
You are not the king, I am not the fool
They said the world does not belong to you
It don't belong to you, it belongs to me
They said the world does not belong to you
You are not the king, I am not the fool
They said the world does not belong to you
It don't belong to you, it belongs to me
