Lyrics

Roped into it You're just a kid Fighting for a plot you don't understand With weapons you can't hold in your hand This is it This is the real thing

Children at war Children at war Children at war

There is nothing you can do Everyone is walking So you better push on through You're all pawns waiting to be queens On the other side There is nothing waiting

Children at war Children at war Children at war

You can't understand The weight of your actions Because time never stands still For you to wait And question faith

Nothing is fair Nothing is fair Nothing is fair Nothing is fair Nothing is fair

They're all in On children at war Pushing all the chips For children at war

Children at war Children at war Children at war

They're betting it all On children at war They're risking it all For children at war Children at war Children at war

These lyrics definitely hit hard, and the playfulness of the track makes the tragedy of the lyric go deeper. I really like how stylishly you've constructed this. It feels fresh, undone, but well thought-through.

Topical AND nostalgic, I think. Enjoying the music! Seems perfect to use the 80s synth wave style and synths, telling the "children," hey this is real, not a game while yeah, ironic - whose generation makes a game of this life? It's never the young ones. Especially like the line "They're betting it all." We know that the payout comes from us, not them.
