Lyrics Randy Newman – Bless The Children Of The World

Henry Faust on Easter Eve in South Bend, playing an electric guitar:

Faust
Sometimes you know that I think that I
Will surely go insane

Got suicide and murder
Runnin’ in and out my brain

I dream of love, I dream of hate
I dream of death and pain

But no matter how I try
The dream remains the same
The same

Four little piggies
Up against the wall
Four little piggies ‘gainst the wall
Backup Faustettes
‘Gainst the wall
F
One little piggie
Catch a bullet and he falls
Now there’s three little piggie ‘gainst the wall
BF
‘Gainst the wall
F
Second little piggie
Gets a bullet in the eye
BF
Bullet in the eye
F
Last little piggie
Falls to his knees and cries

Henry moves to the front of the stage and plays an acoustic guitar
Bless the children of the world
Give us all a chance to grow and live
Give us all you’ve got to give
Bless the children of the world

Bless the children of the world
We’re the one’s who’ll have to carry on
Even though all hope is gone
Bless the children of the world

All we need is understanding
A sign to show us that you care
It isn’t love that we’re demanding
Just be there

Bless the children of the world
All we want is just to live our life
All we ask is to be free
Let it be
And bless the children of the world
Bless us bless us
Please bless us
Bless the children of the world
