Kid Gloves

A world of difference

A world so out of touch

Overwhelmed by everything

But wanting more so much



Call it blind frustration

Call it blind man's bluff

Call each other names

Your voices rude, your voices rough

Then you learn the lesson

That it's cool to be so tough



Handle with kid gloves

Handle with kid gloves

Then you learn the lessons

Taught in school won't be enough

Put on your kid gloves

Put on your kid gloves

Then you learn the lesson

That it's cool to be so tough



A world of indifference

Heads and hearts too full

Careless of the consequence

Of constant push and pull



Anger got bare knuckles

Anger play the fool

Anger wear a crown of thorns

Reverse the golden rule

Then you learn the lesson

That it's tough to be so cool



Handle with kid gloves

Handle with kid gloves

Then you learn the weapons

And the ways of hard-knock school

Put on your kid gloves

Put on your kid gloves

Then you learn the lesson

That it's tough to be so cool
