[Verse 1]
This is a song about an innocent
Who died at the hands of a desperate man
He trusted those who he thought he knew
He trusted those who he looked up to

[Chorus]
I'll never forget the joy in his face
He'd laugh and he'd cry and he'd ruin my place
He'd drive me crazy, and he'd drive me wild
I used to scream and shout
All day long

[Verse 2]
Now I hope you know this song
Is about a child who now has gone
And other children like him, too
Abused and used by what adults do

[Chorus]
So don't tell me about politics
Or all the problems of our economics
When you can't look after what you can't own
You scream and shout
All day long
[Instrumental Outro]
