Mouth of Babes

Band's Comments Lyrics
Billy: "During the year and a half of Siamese Dream touring, we tried to work on all sorts of new songs. From the endless jams and tapes, this song and "Marquis in Spades" were the only ones that survived. A favorite at soundcheck with non-lyrics forever. Another heavy metal victim, or at least too much like a Siamese Dream track."

 Written by Billy Corgan

so here we are
true superstars
we're so real from afar and now
now you're with us now

and the mouths of babes sing revolution
and the mouths of babes scream disillusion
you can't break what's already broken
cause from the mouths of babes comes nothing

the "dream" was a sham
for saving what you can't
and now they're me but i'm not them
i am you and you are me

it's in the ways i walk thru fire
it's in the ways of my desire
and when i said that you're no good
what i meant was i wish you could

be there forever
be young forever
i wish you were there

so now i bid farewell
beyond the bounds of hell
and now you'll swear you knew us well
well you can never tell

and the mouths of babes sing revolution
and the mouths of babes scream disillusion
you can't break what's already broken
cause from the mouths of babes comes nothing
