Childhood's End

Swallow your ego, spit out your pride
Your prejudice heart stopped beating inside
Today, hey
Summons your preacher and all of his saints
Summons the devil to take your complaints
Away

Buried the facts, dig up the graves
The lies, the unconscious enslaves your minds, minds
Ahh, ahh
One comes in color, the other without
One comes with truth, the other with doubt
Hey, hey, hey

My woman, my partner, my lover, my soul
You seem to know better, take control
Away, hey
Don't bother fighting or trying to resist
Thе blade of a knife is pressеd on your wrist
Today, hey, hey
Ahh, ahh

Ahh, ahh, hey-hey
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
Hey-hey, hey-hey

Line up your pleasures all in a row
Empty your buckets, fill up the holes
Hey-hey
'Cause we're all grown up now, it's childhood's end
It's the beginning of the end
Hey-hey, hey-hey, hey-hey
Ahh, ahh

It's not where you're going, it's not where you've been
With or without, nor within
It's not what you thought or what you've been told
It's about growing up, not growing old

It's not what you think, it's more what you feel
Don't question your heart, this is real
About where you're going, not where you've been
My friend, it's childhood's end (uh-huh, uh-huh, oh-oh)

Childhood's end (uh huh, uh-huh, ohh)
Childhood's end (uh-huh, uh-huh, oh yeah)
Childhood's end (uh-huh, uh-huh)

It's what you've been told
