They cry in the dark

So you can't see their tears

They hide in the light

So you can't see their fears

Forgive and forget

All the while

In the eyes of a wounded child



Because hell, hell is for children

Hell, hell is for children

And you shouldn't have to pay for your love

With your bones and your flesh



It's all so confusing this brutal abusing

They blacken your eyes and then apologize

"Be daddy's good girl, and don't tell mommy a thing"

"Be a good little boy, and you'll get a new toy

Tell grandma you fell from the swing"



Because hell, hell is for children

Hell, hell is for children

And you shouldn't have to pay for your love

With your bones and your flesh



[Repeat: x3]

Hell, hell is for hell

Hell is for hell

Hell is for children



Hell is for children

Hell is for children
