Verse1:
BBmA few doors uG#p there´s a room where theBBmy lie
Their eyes are G#wise and the faces are gBBmrey
Those nine are unG#lucky,
disease in their Bbmveins
With one million G#others they have no one to Bbmblame
Bridge1:
Bbm        G#          D#m                 G#
She diBbmdn´t care pushing H would give her an I and a V as the wage
                      G#                     D#m
G#But the shouting and drinking right there at home would make you want to fall
Chorus:
BbmSo seG#vereD#m,G#  
Bbmbut why shoG#uld I cD#mare?G#  
That´s so severe, but that´s like some southern hemisphere
Verse2:
Hey, who would take this kid, he´s 8 years old
His parents are dead and he doesn´t have a home
His big sister´s sold in a flat for any use
Pretty teenage is blooming for costumers to choose
Bridge2:
Well, you cannot blame your sweet destiny
and that was his, he was born into this place
So much pain, so much poverty,
it makes you ask for any grace
(Chorus)
Verse3:
In the autumn in the night on the street it gets cold,
boys may build a fire unlike they are told
If police shows up they can´t but escape
the dealiest muggings, hired by the state
Last Bridge:
Sometimes they must think of fleeing the world
and the suffering within
After 1991 it didn´t get better
like we all hoped for
