[Verse 1]
So here we are
True superstars
We're so real from afar and now
Now you're with us, now
[Chorus]
And the mouths of babes sing revolution
And the mouths of babes scream disillusion
You can't break what's already broken
'Cause from the mouths of babes comes nothing
[Verse 2]
The "dream" was a sham
For saving what you can't
And now they're me, but I'm not them
I am you and you are me
It's in the ways I walk through fire
It's in the ways of my desire
And when I said that you're no good
What I meant was, I wish you could
Be there forever
Be young forever
I wish you were there
So now I bid farewell
Beyond the bounds of hell
And now you'll swear you knew us well
Well, you can never tell
[Chorus]
And the mouths of babes sing revolution
And the mouths of babes scream disillusion
You can't break what's already broken
'Cause from the mouths of babes comes nothing

During the year and a half of Siamese Dream touring, we tried to work on all sorts of new songs. From all the endless jams and tapes, this song and “Marquis in Spades” were the only ones that survived. A favorite at soundcheck with nonlyrics forever. Another heavy metal victim, or at least too much...
