![]() The ones who feel the pain As you struggle with sobriety The ones who take the blame As you steal your notoriety The ones who feel the shame Are the women and children first As you medicate anxiety The ones who get the shakes As you fill beyond capacity The ones who's levee breaks As your tempted by that apple tree The ones who fend the snakes Are the women and children first As you hide behind your diety The ones who form the wall As you blame it on your piety The ones who heed the call As you preach a sick propriety The ones who take the fall Are the women and children first Do the same you've always done Wonder what have we become Do the same you've always done again Give what you have always given Get the same and call it living Women and children drowning in your reign As you blindly chase prosperity The ones you fail to see As you kill off yet more forestry The ones who cannot breathe As you cause one more catastrophe The ones who have to flee Are the women and children first ![]() |
