We Might Be Robots

Lyrics

Got dirt on their knees and grass in their hair,
Chasin’ fireflies without a care.
World keeps screamin’ ‘bout what ain’t right,
But they just need a ball and a summer night.
Don’t drag ’em down in the mess we made,
Let ’em run wild before it fades.

Just let ’em be kids, let ’em laugh, let ’em play,
Don’t steal their tomorrow with the pain of today.
Keep your politics and headlines out of their games,
They got one shot at childhood before it all goes up in flames.

Ain’t no rush to grow up fast,
Innocence is the thing that lasts.
They don’t need bills or the weight we hold,
They just need stories that never get old.
Hide the chaos, keep it outside,
Let their wonder be their guide.

Just let ’em be kids, let ’em laugh, let ’em play,
Don’t steal their tomorrow with the pain of today.
Keep your politics and headlines out of their games,
They got one shot at childhood before it all goes up in flames.

Don’t dress ’em up in your heavy chains,
Don’t burn their joy in grown-up flames.
Give ’em bikes, give ’em skinned-up knees,
Give ’em freedom, give ’em trees.

Just let ’em be kids, let ’em laugh, let ’em play,
Don’t steal their tomorrow with the pain of today.
Keep your politics and headlines out of their games,
They got one shot at childhood before it all goes up in flames.

Let ’em be kids…
Let ’em be kids…
Before it all goes up in flames.
