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.

That's it! It's a really easy song. The chorus is the
only hard part really and if it's too difficult for you,
just play the barre chord D instead of the chord (though
for some people that might not be the easier way to play
it). Good luck!
