the kids have me surrounded

The kids have me surrounded
They’re carrying a knife
They’re calling me their schoolyard names
They’re threatening my life

I really am much taller
They come up to my knees
But there just are so many
And they laugh at my pleas

They want all of my money
But I don’t have enough
They say they’ll stab my kneecaps
These children are so rough

If only I could fool them,
Distract them with some trick,
But the future holds me hostage
And I feel a little sick.
