world of difference 
world so out of touch 
Overwhelmed by everything 
But wanting more so much 

Call it blind [bad word] 
Call it blind man's bluff 
Call each other names 
Your [bad word]  
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 

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 [bad word] 
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
