Livin' In A World Lyrics - Janet Jackson

Children are called the future 

Of an adult world 

They are born with spirits so innocent 

'Til we teach them how to hate 

Add to the world's confusion 

We teach our kids rules 

That we don't adhere to ourselves 

Right or wrong 

What examples can they take? 

The people we learn from 

Forge the ideas we become 

Livin' in a world they didn't make 

Livin' in a world that's filled with hate 

Livin' in a world where grown-ups 

Break the rules

Livin' in a world they didn't make 

Payin' for a lot of adult mistakes 

How much of this madness can they take 

Our children? 

Children grow to become 

Our young adults 

Problems of the world 

They must learn how to confront 

Doin' drugs, joinin' gangs to rebel 

Colors show they belong 

To the social override 

'Cause they're livin' in a space 

They feel out of place 

Livin' in a world they didn't make 

Livin' in a world that's filled with hate 

Livin' in a world where grown-ups 

Break the rules 

Livin' in a world they didn't make 

Payin' for a lot of adult mistakes 

How much of this madness can they take 

Our children? 

Livin' in a world they didn't make 

Livin' in a world that's filled with hate 

Livin' in a world where grown-ups 

Break the rules 

Livin' in a world they didn't make 

Payin' for a lot of adult mistakes 

How much of this madness can they take 

Our children? 

How much can they take? 

Children of the world 

They are all so innocent 

How much can they take? 

How much can they take? 

[Incomprehensible]
