============================ Children - The Mavericks ============================
A child who is raised by an unworthy hand Has less of a chance of being a man So try to remember and then understand How a mother could cry while her husband lay dead
Shot down by the gun of a runaway train 'Cos life in the fast lane it all ends the same And the same children�s lives they will always regret Are the children who never forget
A man ends his time by working alone On a street corner singing for a penny a song What he cannot remember was never his own That�s the answer he gives when he�s asked of his own
Well the streets of my life I don�t know anymore Where the children are junkies and the ladies are whores Well the same children�s lives they will always regret Are the children who never forget?
CHORUS: Goodnight goodnight sweet child Why don�t you dream with the angels To forget for a whileTo forget all the lies that were handed to you Where everything�s real yet nothing is true Well perhaps you can change what the cards always read For the children who never forget
SOLO
For a while they were counting you out of this race You stood up like a champion that had fallen with grace Never showing the anguish that covered your face You were raped and forgotten left to die in disgrace Shot down by the gun of a runaway train
Cos life in the fast lane it all ends the same Well the same children lives they will always regret Are the children who never forget
CHORUS
A child who is raised by an unworthy hand Has less of a chance of being a man So try to remember and then understand How a mother could cry while her husband lay dead
A child who is raised by an unworthy hand Has less of a chance of being a man So try to remember and then understand How a mother could cry while her husband lay dead
