Kids Don't Know Shit - Islands

Smoke gets in your eyes still blowing in the wind

And we can’t beat this cancer, can we?

Answer me

Kids don’t know shit

Everything they’ve learned is wrong

Boys in the neighborhood are fit

'Cause they fight all night long

Kids don’t know it

But everything they’ve touched is gone

'Cause no one understands

You can’t stand under something that’s all wrong

When you’re facing the day

When you’re wasting away

And you get lighter than your brain

And it grows tighter everyday

Love’s lungs hold air to blow a hole

Cold chest grows, fills up with smoke

At least your head is warm

Still forming ways to warm the baby, the baby’s bed

'Cause kids don’t know shit

Everything they’ve learned is wrong

And the girls on the block are listening in

They sing let’s get strong

Kids don’t know it

But everything they’ve got is gone

We used it for some fuel and food

Then the rats took it from us and made a bomb

Words love holes

Getting lost in lies we know

Still believing branches weaving forests

Leaving helps them grow

Kids don’t know shit

Everything we learned was wrong

Alright, deep down we knew it

We always knew it all along

Nebular splendor

I’ll remember those constellations forever

A cursory person turns to me and says

Well, you won’t live forever
