What-

e-

ver

hap-

pened

to

child-

hood?

We're

all

scared

of

the

kids

in

our

neigh-

bor-

hood

They're

not

small,

char-

ming

and

harm-

less

They're

a vio-

lent

bunch

of

bas-

tard

lit-

tle

shits

And a-

ny-

one

who

looks

young-

er

than

me

Makes

me

check

for

my

wal-

let,

my

phone

and

my

keys

And I'm

tir-

ed

of

be-

ing

tir-

ed

out

Al-

ways

be-

ing

on

the

look-

out

for thiev-

ing

gits

We're

all

won-

de-

ring

how

we

end-

ed

up

so

scar-

ed

We

spent

ten

long

years

teach-

ing

our

kids

not

to

ca-

re

And

that

there's

no

such

thing

as

so-

ci-

e-

ty

a-

ny-

wa-

y

And

all

the

rich

folks

act

sur-

prised

When

all

sense

of

com-

mu-

ni-

ty

dies

But

you

just

closed

your

eyes

to

the

o-

ther

side

Of all

the

things

that

she

did

Thatc-

her

fucked

the

kids

And it

seems

a

litt-

le

bit

rich

to

me

The

way

the

rich

on-

ly

e-

ver

talk

of

cha-

ri-

ty

In

times

like

the

se-

ven-

ties,

the

brok-

en

down

e-

co-

no-

my

Meant

e-

ven

the

up-

per

tier

was

need-

ing

some

help

But

as

soon

as

things

look

bright-

er

The

grin

gets

wid-

er

and

the

grip

gets

tight-

er

And for

eve-

ry

teen-

age

track-

suit

mugg-

er

There's

a

guy

in a

suit

Who

would-

n't

lift

a

fin-

ger

for

a-

ny-

bo-

dy

else

We're

all

won-

de-

ring

how

we

end-

ed

up

so

scar-

ed

We

spent

ten

long

years

teach-

ing

our

kids

not

to

ca-

re

And

that

there's

no

such

thing

as

so-

a-

And

all

When

But

you

just

closed

your

eyes

to

the

o-

Of all

the

things

that

she

did

Thatc-

her

fucked

the

kids

You've

got

a

ge-

ne-

ra-

tion

raised

on

the

wel-

fare

state

En-

joyed

all

the

be-

ne-

fits

and

did

just

great

But

as

soon

as

they

were

sett-

led

as

the

ri-

chest

of

the

rich

They

kicked

a-

way

the

lad-

der,

told

the

rest

of

us

that

life's

a

bitch

And

it's

no

sur-

prise

that

all

the

fuck--

ups

Didn't

show

up

u-

ntil

the

kids

had

grown

up

But when

no

one

e-

ver

smiles

or

e-

ver

helps

a

stran-

ger

Is

it

any

fuck-

ing

won-

der

our

so-

ci-

e-

ty's

in

dan-

ger

of

col-

lapse?

So

all

the kids

are

bas-

tards

Don't

blame

them,

yeah,

they

learn

by

ex-

am-

ple

Blame

the

folks

who

sold

the

fu-

ture

for

the

high-

est

bid

That's

right,

That-

cher

fucked

the

kids
