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
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

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
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
