Child in Time Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Sweet child, in time, you'll see the line
The line that's drawn between good and bad

Bullets flying, mmm, taking toll
If you've been bad, Lord, I bet you have
And you've not been hit, oh, by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes
Oh, bow your head
Wait for the ricochet
