what about the kids - lauren tate lyrics

[intro]
daddy, i drew pictures in the sand
tell me they look pretty, hold my hand
and did you see i drew them with my hands?
daddy, take my picture like i planned

[verse 1]
daddy, watch me fly my aeroplane
go on, say you like it once again
come on, take my picture, it can go so high
daddy, i was happy as a child
[verse 2]
she stares at her reflection, she’s shaking
she had her chance, she blew it
daddy said i could be anything, i know i can if i can put my mind to it
i could be choking on blood on the floor, i could be holding my mother no more
i could be pulling the trigger or taking the blow
most of the time, it’s the kids you don’t know
so daddy, tell me what, tell me what would you do
if the person with the trigger put a bullet in you?
you hear the kids don’t wanna dream no more, they’re too scared to choose
i think we gotta change the system now, there’s no time to lose

[verse 3]
oh
daddy, i can swim underwater now
watch me jump off the side for the hundredth time
and don’t for a minute look away or you’ll miss the splash
daddy, when i’m older i’ll make you proud

[verse 4]
it’s been five weeks since that day and everybody’s hating each other
they’re looking for reasons that she might have done it
they’re blaming her mother and accusing her father
they tried to pin blame on video games, pin blame on rock and rap
but maybe having a gun at your fingertips might make you react?
so daddy, tell me what, tell me what do i do
when a kid can get a gun and bring it right into school?
and most the kids don’t wanna play no more, they’re too scared to move
i think the problem’s the gun, daddy, i know you’ve got one too
[verse 5]
oh
daddy, i’ve been shot with a real gun (gun)
not like in our games that we made for fun
and i saw that gun looked a lot like your one
the one you said would always protect us

[chorus]
oh
what about the kids?
what about the kids?
what about the youth?
and what about the kids?
what about the kids?
what about the youth?
and what about the kids?
what about the kids?
what about the youth?
what about the kids?
what about the kids?
what about the youth?

[outro]
daddy, i’ve been shot with a real gun
not like in our games that we played for fun
that gun looked a lot like your one
the one you said would always protect us
