In love and war there are no rules
Children of the revolution make a brand new start
Children of the revolution shot down by a brand new gun
Who swap the green upon the dollars for the green upon the tanks
It's shiny and it's quick to take their lives
The images of war are in their eyes
Don't keep their bellies full
Shot down by a brand new gun
They're dropping down like flies and in their eyes
And those children of the revolution see the soldiers come
Children of the revolution shot down with a brand new gun
Smiling at the widows as they take away the sons
Children of the revolution getting off the boat
Running through the rubble of a thousand broken hearts and in their eyes
Someone sells a gun and someone blows them all away
In love and war there are no rules
They've seen it all before and know your lies
Children of the revolution sold out by the banks
Some live on the south side and they overlook the water
Children of the revolution coming out to play
The words that can't be spoken and your lies
And if it's cruel, in love and war there are no rules
Won't keep their bellies full
All promises are broken in their eyes
Shot down by a brand new gun
But in their eyes
To face the ignorance and prejudice that keep this land afloat
Murder comes by sea and from the skies
Some live on the north side and they're looking at the border
