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
