[Verse 1]

Daddy loves you

But he's frightened by what you know

When he was your age, he went out with the boys

Kicked up his heels and made noise

Now kids are different, faster than the speed of sound

Those can't be children who stand up to the crowd

Throw up their fists and talk loud

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't look at age, look into our eyes

Enter our minds, but don't analyze, just visualize

[Chorus]

We keep the foot on the gas

We keep our eyes on the road

Keep our hands on the wheel

We carry heavier loads

So you wanna know where thе children are?

Trying to survive, wе accelerate

We accelerate

[Verse 2]

Watch the kite soar into the glow of the nuclear war

Why aren't you sleeping? Get the world off your mind

Take a deep breath and unwind

But don't look back now

'Cause somebody's comin' up from behind

No time for sleepin', stay ahead of the pack

Learn to stand tall and fight back

[Pre-Chorus]

When did it change? When did childhood die?

Enter our minds, but don't analyze, just visualize

[Chorus]

We keep the foot on the gas

We keep our eyes on the road

Keep our hands on the wheel

We carry heavier loads

So you wanna know where the children are?

Trying to survive, we accelerate

We accelerate

[Bridge]

Moral evolution hurries

Dying minds comprise the jury

Shouting, "Guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty"

Oh, we accelerate

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

We keep the foot on the gas

We keep our eyes on the road

Keep our hands on the wheel

We carry heavier loads

So you wanna know where the children are?

Trying to survive, we accelerate

We accelerate

[Outro]

Oh, we accelerate

We accelerate

Oh, we accelerate

We accelerate

We accelerate

We accelerate

Oh, we accelerate
