Song Lyrics
only whatever you put in its head
You ve got to be carefully taught, children will see and learn
careful you do it too
listen to me
To hate all the people your relatives hate, won t be misunderstood Will, you ve got to be taught to hate and fear
Guide them but step away, you ve got to be taught before it s too late, you ve got to be taught from year to year
To learn what to be, it s got to be drummed in your dear little ear Taught/Children, children may not obey but children will listen
children will glisten
you ve got to be carefully taught
How can you say to a child who s in flight, listen to me, children will listen
Children will look to you for which way to turn, if just to be free, how can you say to a child who s in flight
Children will listen, you ve got to be carefully taught
if just to be free
careful before you say
I won t hold so tight, i won t hold so tight
To learn what to be, before you are six or seven or eight, what can you say that no matter how slight
If just to be free, don t slip away To, before you are six or seven or eight
Things that your mother and father had said, what do you leave to your child when you re dead
Which were left to them too, to learn what to be
Children will listen, you ve got to be taught from year to year
you ve got to be carefully taught
Don t slip away, you ve got to be taught from year to year
Temper with what is true and children will turn, careful before you say
If just to be free, what do you leave to your child when you re dead
Careful the things you do, children will see and learn
things that your mother and father had said
It s got to be drummed in your dear little ear, children will glisten, careful what you say
Children will listen, to hate all the people your relatives hate, careful what you say
I won t hold so tight, temper with what is true and children will turn
Careful what you say, children will listen
How can you say to a child who s in flight, won t be misunderstood Patinkin, guide them but step away
If just to be free, children will glisten, children will look to you for which way to turn
You ve got to be taught from year to year, listen to me Got, children will listen
Children will listen, which were left to them too, careful what you say
Children will listen, what do you leave to your child when you re dead, careful before you say
Which were left to them too, to learn what to be To, what do you leave to your child when you re dead
Children will listen, listen to me
Careful you do it too, how can you say to a child who s in flight
you ve got to be taught to hate and fear
I won t hold so tight, careful before you say
You ve got to be taught before it s too late, don t slip away
If just to be free, you ve got to be taught from year to year
how can you say to a child who s in flight
to learn what to be
To hate all the people your relatives hate, temper with what is true and children will turn Taught/Children, children will listen
Children will glisten, what can you say that no matter how slight Be, won t be misunderstood
Won t be misunderstood, children will glisten, careful before you say
Careful you do it too, listen to me
Which were left to them too, how can you say to a child who s in flight Will, things that your mother and father had said
How can you say to a child who s in flight, you ve got to be taught to hate and fear
careful you do it too
children will see and learn
Children will listen, children will look to you for which way to turn
Children will listen, before you are six or seven or eight
Children will look to you for which way to turn, children will glisten, children will listen
to hate all the people your relatives hate
How can you say to a child who s in flight, which were left to them too, children will listen
listen to me
Temper with what is true and children will turn, children will see and learn
