Hey Child Lyrics

You and I of the neighbourhood, We think we've got it all so good.
Front and back lawn with a pet, A mortgage debt, but don't give me that
Diverted from reality, The child is lost in Nintendo, sea
They cry, you don't want to know, out into the street of pain they go

Bridge
Listen, Listen, to the child cry
Listen, Listen, to the child cry
No-one there to soothe the pain
Blood runs cold, runs through their vains

Chorus
Hey child, come to me, hey child
Hey child, the son you need
He's the answer to your misery
Hey child, hey child, hey, hey, child
He's the answer to your misery

Born and bread on the poppy field, Her mother's love has been concealed
Her cherry lost to mum's main man, Her virginity had other plans
All alone in her teens, Scared and raped of dignity, Nowhere to run
Nowhere to go, She had no place to call home

Bridge
Chorus

Middle 8:
Listen to the child cry
Listen to that child cry
Listen to all of their tears

Solo
Chorus
