[English]

...

...

Home in bed or out at night

Don't think twice

Just don't think twice

Make a choice, one you won't regret

This is your life, this is still your life

Never gone get away, never gone get away

Never gone break the chains, watching me patiently, Watching me patiently, watching me take the blame

Never gone get away, never gone get away

Never gone break the chains, I'm running out of options and they know

...

...

I'm tired of holding on

...

...

Hear me when I say, "Don't blame it on the kids"

Don't blame it on the kids, kids

Don't blame it on the kids

Don't blame it on the kids, kids

Say their names we won't forget

This is not your fight, not your fight

You played games but we can't forgive

Put down the knife, put down the knife

Never gone get away, never gone get away, never gone break the chains

Watching me patiently, watching me patiently, watching me take the blame

Never gone get away, never gone get away, never gone break the chains

I'm running out of options and they know

I'm tired of holding on

Hear me when I say, "Don't blame it on the kids"

Don't blame it on the kids, kids

Don't blame it on the kids

Don't blame it on the kids, kids

Don't blame it on the kids

Don't blame it on the kids, kids

Don't blame it on the kids

Don't blame it on the kids, kids

Come out where your pretty face is hiding

Come out, I don't see no point in lying

No doubt, you have questions I can answer

But first, come out with your hands up

Come out, where your pretty face is hiding

Come out, I don't see no point in lying

No doubt, you have questions I can answer

But first come out with your hands up

Don't blame it on the kids

Don't blame it on the kids, kids

Don't blame it on the kids

Don't blame it on the kids, kids

Don't blame it on the kids

Don't blame it on the kids, kids

Don't blame it on the kids

Don't blame it on the kids, kids
