lyrics

They forgot about us
pretend they didn’t care
form a ring around us
circle ‘round the squares
throw the ball and hit us
with a snarl and dripping nose
eyes that penetrate us
aiming high or low

I tired of this game
But I’m not ready to quit
I don’t know which will hurt worse
giving up or getting hit
and it seems it will go on forever

Red rover send Jimmy right over
but now he’s got a gun
All the mothers just scream and hold their heads
saying lord, what have we done
they tried to turn him on to Jesus and
things he didn’t understand
They wondered why he didn’t
play with the other kids
but they couldn’t see his brand

I tired of this game
But I’m not ready to quit
I don’t know which will hurt worse
giving up or getting hit
and it seems it will go on forever
