CORRECT LYRICS: How cruel is the golden rule When the lives we lived are only golden plated And I knew the lights of the city were too heavy for me Though I carried karats for everyone to see

And I saw God cry in the reflection of my enemies All all the lovers with no time for me And all the mothers raise their babies to stay away from me

Tongues on the sockets of electric dreams When the sewage of youth drowned the spark of my teens And I knew that the lights of the city were too heavy for me And I carried karats for everyone to see

And I saw God cry in the reflection of my enemies All all the lovers with no time for me And all the mothers raise their babies to stay away from me And pray they don't grow up to be me

Everyone keeps getting the line 'When the sewage of youth drowned the spark of my teens' wrong. it's teens, not tears.

It also makes much more sense with teens, because that would suggest bullying (sewage of youth) and how it ruined his teen years.

An error occured.
