[Verse 1]
And so it went
The children lost their minds
Beggin' for forgiveness
Was such a waste of time
And the bullets start to fly
And the bough's about to break
When you hear them cry
It's too much for me to take
[Chorus]
They said the world does not belong to you
You are not the king, I am not the fool
They said the world does not belong to you
It don't belong to you
It belongs to me
[Verse 2]
And so it went
The children lost their minds
Crawlin' over bodies of those who gave their lives
And the fists began to throw
And the fire starts to blaze
Don't you think they know
They're the fuckin' human race?
[Chorus]
They said the world does not belong to you
You are not the king, I am not the fool
They said the world does not belong to you
It don't belong to you
It belongs to—
[Bridge]
Everyone is cryin' out, I can hear them scream
With all these eyes upon us, but no one seems to see
That you and me are just the same as God meant it to be
But you're much too close to me
You're much too close to me
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
And so it went
The children lost their minds
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
And the wind begins to howl
And the wolf is at your door
You have so much of everything
But still, you wanted more
[Chorus]
They said the world does not belong to you
You are not the king, I am not the fool
They said the world does not belong to you
It don't belong to you
It belongs to me
[Chorus]
The world does not belong to you
You are not the king, I am not the fool
They said the world does not belong to you
It don't belong to you
It belongs to me
