- Steppenwolf - Children Of The Night Lyrics
- Uploaded by LOVE4LYRICS at Pastebin.com
- Some of us are Rock n' Roll stars
- Chasing the flash and travel
- Most of us wear the right length of hair
- But that's all that is left of the dream
- Oh, the dream it was born in the summer of love
- And it died with the Woodstock Nation
- But what has it left for the carpenter's son
- And the new coming generation?
- Oh, we all believed we knew the way
- But fate did not agree
- Now we've tired of asking who we are
- And what we ought to be
- Children of the night howling at the gate
- Here to claim forgotten dreams
- Too late, too late
- Orphans of the darkness
- Waiting to belong
- Been list'ning to the same old story
- Too long to care, too long
- Barely thirteen...hard and they're mean...
- Hunting in packs...like jackals...
- They prey on the meek, the old and the weak
- Like a scourge on the face of the earth
- All around our town
- They're fighting with guns
- And building their homemade bazookas
- And ten year old Jimmy got arrested in school
- They found a tank in his locker
- Oh, we all believed we held the key
- To peaceful harmony
- But the times have changed the way we feel
- And we fear our destiny
- Sure must be fun to watch a president run
- Just ask the man who owns one
- Why, up on the hill, they're killing the bill
- That would pay for his capitol crime
- But cardinal sin- he blessed him and said
- "I know that you're rotten down to the core
- But nobody else can do it so well
- That's why I'm behind you for three years more"
- Oh, they all believed they'd found the one
- Who'd lead them to the light
- But the tides will turn against the fool
- Who'd believe that wrong it right
