Children of the Powerplay
By: Aleksei Dubov
Mommy, mommy, why don't you help me?
You look the same as before
So why won't you answer me?
Please save me mommy
I'm really scared
I want to run
I want to play
Instead I must stay
Doing as they say
(Please save me, mommy
I'm really scared)
Such small hands
So much power
An innocent face
Spreading treacherous hate
Pretending to be free
It's the perfect ruse
Weeding out those immune
While singing happy tunes
(Please save me, mommy
I'm really scared)
Earning my keep
Eliminate the enemy
Allowed no rest
Follow the crest
I have no toys
I have no friends
I have only masters
They have no compassion
The result of success
Another task; no rest
No reward is needed
Where no choice exists
Lower than animals
Higher than angels
Priceless little tools
Living without respect
(Please save me, mommy
I'm really scared)
I live my life
An echo of strife
Wolf in the fold
A reflection of spite
No personal choice
Having no voice
Rebelling their cause
Effect not lost
(Please save me, mommy
I'm really scared)
Why must I stay
Doing as they say
I want to run
I want to play
I'm really scared
Please save me, mommy
Why don't you answer me?
You look the same as before
Mommy, mommy, why don't you help me?
