Bloc Party - Children of the Future lyrics

If you're reading this
Then it means we failed
But all hope's not lost it is not, it is not
If these words ring true my mulatto brood
It has been foretold
It is yours, it is yours

Yes, the children are the future
Yes, the children are they're the next phase
They're the next stage
They're the next grade they're the next wave
Time is on their side

This is how it grows it will ebb and flow
So don't lose your knack
Or your heart, or your heart
They will silence you try to punish you
You will find a way
In the stars, in the stars

Yes, the children are the future
Yes, the children are they're the next phase
They're the next stage
They're the next grade they're the next wave
Time is on their side

Be all that you can be be all we never were
Succeed where we failed and make them eat it

If you're reading this
Then it means we failed
But all hope's not lost
We will not be the last we will not
