Yamato (Where People Really Die) - The Van Pelt

If the question’s asked

When the kid is innocent

And the answer’s plain

Because you’re not into it

The line is drawn

And your unligtented son

Will go forth with

A wealth of misinformation

His day has come

If it’s on the tube

Put him in real time

It’ll do him good

Make him realise

The continuum between

Ignorance and childhood

Shield nothing

Let him breathe

Let him see

Shield nothing

Let him breathe

Let him see

When the kid can’t sleep

From the fear of the mystery

Please keep in mind

The good you’ve designed

And when the bell rings

At noon of no concern

Try not to act surprised

When the epithet cries

«My mother lies

My eyes aren’t blind

My life’s a line»

Though this is another

Disease and we cry

When understanding is reached

This what fostering means

It will all be over soon

Shield nothing

Let him breathe

Let him see

Shield nothing

Let him breathe

Let him see
