Ten Little Girls

You think of no one but yourself
You see the rest of us as fools
You think of no one but yourself
And you see the rest of us as fools

He said, "Don't feel guilty, don't go crazy
Don't get paranoid with me"

You play the Prophet like a man
It makes no sense in the overall master plan

She said, "Don't feel guilty, don't go crazy
Don't get paranoid with me"

The arrogance of the youth
You wanna prove something
Picking up a microphone
Starts one thinking older

As the fear starts to grow inside
See what it's like to live a lie
Nothing is like you thought it was
You felt the cause
What you had, my friend is lost

Drifting away and if you play another day
Long ago, my friends, long ago
It doesn't matter what I say

You can push your luck away
You can push your luck away
Don't go crazy

Don't feel, feel, feel
Don't get, get, get

Now y'all know I will
Take you down with the sound
So I know that time has passed
Climb into another rhyme, designed too fast

From the well of deceit he has to move on
It doesn't matter how we get a groove on
Now you find that you were younger then
Looking back, don't ever pretend

That it was good as it was not, that's what we got
Busted out your friends, you know what you got
The truth right in your lap, that's a fact, Jack
The arrogance of youth is not claptrap

Nothing is right, everything is wrong
Push your mike right to come along
Too strong, uh huh, gettin' older
And now you realize all the lies that were otherwise
Because my eyes can see the truth and reality

Ten little girls come out to play
They didn't stand a chance they got blown away
(Say it isn't so)

Ten little boys come out to play
They didn't stand a chance they got blown away
(Say it isn't so)

Nine little girls got blown away
(No, no, no, no)
They didn't even have their own place to stay
(Say it isn't so)

Nine little boys got blown away
(No, no, no, no)
They didn't even have their own place to stay
(Say it isn't so)

The arrogance of the youth
They don't talk
The arrogance of the youth
