Lyrics for My Children

To create, pass on, pass on What's mine, now yours, pass on Written in stone, no longer in sand, pass on Pass on, to create To grace, what's mine, now yours, I'm gone, pass on To create, create, pass on, pass on What's mine, now yours, I'm gone, pass on, create, create, in stone Not sand, pass on, I'm gone To grace, pass on, in stone, pass on All mine for yours, pass on To give all, give all, pass on Next mine, now gone, pass on To grace, pass on To grace, pass on Give all, give all, give all, give all to My children Ain't got no mother Came from my temple, all, when I thought them My children I never loved them Why feel that way when their existence is my business? My children They never listen Vaped in the brain, feral vessals of my self-interest My children They are the future Good luck with the mess I left, you innovators My children Pay dividends Vomit and rage spewing forth in the drive-thru So don't lean on me man 'Cause I ain't got nothing to give To my children My children, they're right behind you My children, they're gonna beat you My children, if you let them Oh, oh, my children
