All the Children Lyrics by The Airborne Toxic Event

Hollywood Park

2020

Time stands still when you’re always underage
So we learned to fake it like actors on a stage
Everyone we knew told us just what to do and how to feel about it
All our illusions fell. We knew them so well until we learned to doubt all of it
All the children know if you jump you fall. And if you jump too high, you fall harder than before
All the children say, “Why’d you let me down? Tell me, when you going to come around?
I can’t live my life underground. Tell me, when you going to come around?”
Calling, mama
Calling, mama
Calling, mama
Blue lights and shadows, we grew up way too fast
They stole our future. But they can’t steal our past
Everyone knows that’s where you go if you have to run now
If I’m not back by dawn, tell them I’ll be gone and I’ll stay gone somehow
All the children know if you jump you fall. And if you jump too high, you fall harder than before
All the children say, “Why’d you let me down? Tell me, when you going to come around?
I can’t live my life underground. Tell me, when you going to come around?”
“Hold your tongue. Hold your tongue. Hold your tongue. Hold your tongue, boy.”
Stop staring, stop staring, stop staring, stop staring, stop staring, stop staring, stop staring, stop staring, stop staring, stop staring, stop staring, stop staring at everyone
All the children know if you run, you fall. And if you run too fast, you’ll fall harder than before
All the children say, “Why’d you let me down? Tell me, when you going to come around?
I can’t live my life underground. Tell me, when you going to come around?”
Calling, mama
Calling, mama
Calling, mama
