[Part I]

[Verse 1]
Under the bridge, there's a man who eats kids
And has a couple pigeons as pets
When the trucks drive above, they rattle his home
And they rattle the bones he collects

[Hook]
When the night falls, God bless the children of America
And when the night crawls, [?] it's all right
I can keep the children safe

[Verse 2]
Under the bed, there's a monster with eyes that glow
Preys on little boys and girls who fall asleep a little too slow
But sleep doesn't come easy when the Devil's lying under you
It's hard to hide when the monster's already inside
Jesus Christ, what have we become?

[Chorus]
For how long will we take their imagination?
Terrorize them, swept under the bed
You know damn well what we're doin'

[Bridge]
Ghost, the child, get away from here
It's not a place to play
Ghost, the child, you're way too young to be out
Go back to your grave
Ghost, the child, have you made any bugs as your pets?
Ghost, the child, when you're down, you're alone
Do you make up any friends?
Ah, ah
Ah, ah

[Chorus]
For how long will we take their imagination?
Terrorize it, throw it to the wolves
You know damn well what they're looking for

[Outro]
So, kid, just breathe deep
Feel your knees weak
Over again
Now sing with me as loud as you-

[Part II]

[Chorus]
What have we done to deserve this?
Were our drawings not good enough to be artists?
Were our voices not loud enough to be heard?
Or did we just not know the words to your song?

What have we done to deserve this?
Were our drawings not good enough to be artists?
Were our voices not loud enough to be heard?
Or did we just not know the words to your song?
