Lyrics
Sweet young girl, so soft and blonde Does exactly what she's been warned Intoxications in her veins Sweet young boy plays with her brain Believing all his faith through lies Putting his hands onto her thighs Impurity has now been gripped He takes away her innocence Sweet children Sweet children Sweet children Remember when? Ooh, Johnny Ray is running again As he hits the floor again Running from the light of day Or maybe lie and celebrate The slightest urge goes from his hand Follow me if you understand He's got the trigger of his gun The final sin and now he runs Sweet children Sweet children Sweet children Remember when Sweet children Sweet children Sweet children Remember when
