Children lyrics by The Mavericks
============================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
