Somebody once told me about a peaceful country
Where folks lived lives of comfort and joy
It was built around a pit into which they discarded
Some poor suffering girl or maybe boy
Well
The years start coming and they don't stop coming
Youths come of age and a few they start walking
Don't wanna live life by hurting some kid
Couldn't try to stop all the others that did
Now that they know
They gotta go
Can't just ignore the truth of the big show
This place has a secret that's wild
It's powered by a forsaken child
Hey now
You're gonna walk out? Gonna take off? Oh well
Hey now
Keep your mouth shut, when you meet folks, don't tell
Here all that glitters is gold
Except for that poor kid in the hole
