There was never a chance to get away When was it only ever but perverse Why could they take a stone and break your arms There could be nothing worse Except to live Live, live little girl Sold in slavery Twenty-five men Have their way in you Burned upon the breast With a cigarette Nothing is worse than to be born and live There was someone at home you cared about When was there anyone who cared for you Why could they take a spoon and break your teeth There could be nothing worse Except to live Live, live blighted girl Sold in slavery Twenty-five men Have their way in you Burned upon the foot With a cigarette Nothing is worse than to be born again Earth has lost and lost its youth Tomorrow, tomorrow will be no happy days You will die and die and falkland road Your ashes will reek of sweat
