Ed Harcourt - Kids (Rise from the Ashes) lyrics

Kids you're our only hope Save us now we need an antidote Kids get out on the street Through this smoke rise through the city heat You loved me like a friend But now I can't pretend The time we used to spend Was wasted on you Police sirens make me deaf As I run trying to catch my breath What's the world afraid of now We are taught to clap our hands and bow Rise from the ashes with a song to remember
