In more modest terms

[Verse 1] Keep your heart clean From any instinctual hope or fear Close your head Check Close your legs Check Close your bed Check Until it’s time to Give us your bodies (The children, the children Just think of the children The children, the children Just think of the children) [Chorus 1] We were told in more modest terms We were told in more modest terms That they would save us And we would be free Now we survive as we're told And they'll tell us to give everything We don't even have us We just do as you're told (The children, the children Just think of the children The children, we'll kill them Don't bring up the children) [Verse 2] Your blood will wash our sins away If there's no one left No one can bear witness The poor will wash our sins away From your all deaths We'll double our interest [Chorus 2] We were told in more modest terms We were told in more modest terms That they would save us And we would be free Now you survive as you're told And they'll tell us to give everything You don't even have you You just do as you're Told [Outro] The children, the children Just think of the children Your lives and your people More bodies, we need them Katrina to Haiti From Congo to Gaza Just shut up, we'll starve you Don't bring up the children Shh!
