<p>as soon as you're born, they make you feel small!<br />
and then wear you down until you're nothing at all<br />
a good little girl or boy sitting at the stand<br />
forced silent unless you first raise your hand</p>
<p>children are not meant to be slaves<br />
and yet you tore them from the void and let them experience pain<br />
just because they came from their loins doesn't mean they belong to anyone<br />
but to you, if they don't reproduce, they may as well not be your son</p>
<p>we are not trophies to put on shelves<br />
the only person who can decide who they want to be is themselves<br />
no obligation, no reason to carry on a prideless family name<br />
so the fruit of their efforts can be tortured the same</p>
<p>so may your vinery run dry and stale<br />
and may what's forgotten be your tired old war tales<br />
and may your hopes for your childrens' future turn into fears<br />
because the cycle ends here</p>
