Lyrics:
Verse:
Sweet young girl so soft and blonde.
does exactly what she's been warned.
Intoxication's in her veins.
Sweet young boy plays with her brain.
believing all his faith that 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. 

Johnny Ray is running again, as he hit the floor again
Running from the light of day, or maybe lie and celebrate.
the slightest urge goes from his hands.
Follow me if you understand.
he's got the trigger on his gun 
Final sin and now he runs 

Sweet children, sweet children, sweet children. Remember when.
Sweet children, sweet children, sweet children. will never win.
