O Children
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

   Pass me that lovely little gun
   My dear, my darling one              
   The cleaners are coming, one by one
   You don't even want to let them start

 /  /  /  

   They are knocking now upon your door                 
   They measure the room, they know the score           
   They're mopping up the butcher's floor                       
   Of your broken little hearts                         

                O children                                            

   Forgive us now for what we've done                   
   It started out as a bit of fun                               
   Here, take these before we run away                  
   The keys to the gulag                                        

   Oooo children                                                
   Lift up your voice, lift up your voice                       
   Children
   Rejoice, rejoice     

 /  /  /                             

Here comes Frank and poor old Jim
They're gathering round with all my friends
We're older now, the light is dim
And you are only just beginning

                O children

We have the answer to all your fears
It's short, it's simple, it's crystal clear
It's round about, it's somewhere here
Lost amongst our winnings

   Oooo children                                                
   Lift up your voice, lift up your voice                       
   Children
   Rejoice, rejoice     

The cleaners have done their job on you
They're hip to it, man, they're in the groove
They've hosed you down, you're good as new
And they're lining up to inspect you

                O children

Poor old Jim's white as a ghost
He's found the answer that we lost
We're all weeping now, weeping because
There ain't nothing we can do to protect you

   Oooo children                                                
   Lift up your voice, lift up your voice                       
   Children
   Rejoice, rejoice     

Hey little train! We're jumping on
The train that goes to the Kingdom
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
And the train ain't even left the station

Hey, little train! Wait for me!
I once was blind but now I see
Have you left a seat for me?
Is that such a stretch of the imagination?

Hey little train! Wait for me!
I was held in chains but now I'm free
I'm hanging in there, don't you see
In this process of elimination

Hey little train! We're jumping on
The train that goes to the Kingdom
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
It's beyond my wildest expectation

Hey little train! We're jumping on
The train that goes to the Kingdom
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
And the train ain't even left the station

[Fade out]
