TEACH YOUR CHILDREN

You who are on the road
Must have a code that you can live by
And so become yourself
Because the past is just a good-bye.
Teach your children well,
Their father's hell did slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks, the one you'll know by.
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
So just look at them and sigh
and know they love you.

And you, of tender years,
Can't know the fears that your elders grew by,
And so please help them with your youth,
They seek the truth before they can die.

Teach your parents well,
Their children's hell will slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks, the one you'll know by.

Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.
TEACH YOUR CHILDREN (PRE-EMPTIVE EMPIRE)

Music based upon "Teach Your Children" (© 1970 Crosby/Stills/Nash/Young)
Lyrics by The Compassionate Conservatives
Original release Mar-2004

You who are on the fence,
It makes no sense
For re-election
'Cause Bush
And the neo-cons
Let war go on
Without reflection...

Teach your children well
Keep them from hell
Where children can die
Don't give them monkey suits
Or guns to shoot
Don't kiss them goodbye

If you ask the White House why
They want to send your kids to die
They'll just look at you and lie...

(Pre-emptive Empire)

And now
It's been three years
That we've lived in fear
In this war on terror
And as they frisk you at the gate
You cry out "Wait,
There's been some error..."

Teach your children well
Keep them from hell
Where children can die
Don't give them monkey suits
Or guns to shoot
Don't kiss them goodbye

If you ask the White House why
They want to send your kids to die
They'll just look at you and lie...
