All children take heed for you are soldiers
Your battlefield's life - your ammunition's time.
The enemy all those who'd divert you
From seeking truth - from living wise.
So never flee while growing older
They'll grant you no peace - they merciless fight.

They control you when you hold a controller
You play their games - you waste your time.
They write their rules and they draw the maps.
When you're in you can't run, When you're volunteer trapped.
Shut off the tube - don't look over your shoulder
By the time you see - buy time back you can't.

All children take heed - takes one to know one.
For I lost the fight - For I'm a casualty.
(I) mourn frequently for all I could have been
While blind to the loss - while stuck in the game.
(I) wake up now freed from a dream on the run
But where am I now? But where am I from?

If I collect all the time spent apart
from the real world, from life out of screens.
I can project it'd be worth half of my life.
For not only time - for un-pursued dreams.
So to connect, I try, with all my heart.
Run from living graves! - Run while still you can start!

Please children, for once, live not by example.
Take command: your days. Take command: your dreams.
Please expect more for you life than a chair -
You sit on for days - you sit placidly.
Never a bore, real life, you can handle.
Don't just let it pass - Don't just let it pass.

Don't just let your time pass.
Don't just let your life pass.
