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
