Verse 1

Well everything’s so different now, a scream which fills the air

And haunts the smallest children’s sleep, upon the floor

“Where have they gone?”; You’ll hear them say with smiles meant to cry

As they wind a watch wrapped on a wrist and quickly look away

And four and six have come and gone five times before they’re seen

And upon the lips of everyone a curse they’ve never dreamed

Yeah, upon the lips of everyone a curse they’ve never dreamed

Chorus

It’s a complicated situation

It’s a complicated situation, mamma

I'm a complicated situation

Verse 2

The young must be our sacrifice they say with crippled grins

The eyes of youth must lose their way and stumble here within

So the sleeping children were awoke in time to haze their eyes

So it was never known on which they choked with books of old in time

So it was never known on which they choked with books of old in time

Chorus

It’s a complicated situation

It’s a complicated situation, mamma

I'm a complicated situation
