You're running around
Like a poor little clown
You're doing so many unimportant things
You think what you think
Is a very big thing
But the children of your children
Won't even know your name
The children of your children
Won't even know your name
You think you're the greatest
But you're just a little figure in a game
And so many other guys
Have done just the same
And all your struggles
Might be in vain
'cause the children of your children
Won't even know your name
The children of your children
Won't even know your name

Look at all these photographs
I've found today
Faded smiling people
All gone away from here
Look at all these laughin' mothers
With their hopeful children
The stories of their fates
Forgotten behind
The unknown gates of death

The children of your children
Won't even know your name
The children of your children
Won't even know your name
Children of your children
Won't even know your name
Children of your children
Won't even know your name
Children of your children
Won't even know your name
Children, children of your children
Won't even, won't even know your name
Your name
Children, children of your children
