Paroles
Children playing in the park
Shoot their targets, find their mark
Little boy soldier starts to cry
Another poor kid learns how to die
Ring-a-ring-a-roses, all fall down

Inside his head he plays their gate
In the shadow of a [???] he remains
Play your games and have your fun
[???]
All too soon that day might come
When your parents [???]
