RANDY NEWMAN lyrics - 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

'Cause he's blown away blown away

Blown away



[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
