Verse 1:

Children raised in Hell,

since their birth.

Neglected, no escape.

Prisoners of Earth.



Pre:

They protect themselves with flames.

& push their hands into the water.

Putting up with all the pain.

Where has the sun gone?



Chorus:

Can you stop what your stepparents have done?

They think abusive lives are all in fun.

Can you take this nightmare & throw it away?

Can you runaway & save yourself today?

Children treated like a handful of dirt.

Nurtures the ground, but poisons the earth.

Just when it all seems quiet & all pain free.

It's when they put a child, another child to sleep.



Verse 2:

Listen kiddo,

Can you see the light?

These tears injected,

Make 'em lose the fight.



Pre:

So you set the fire high.

You listen to 'em screaming.

You burn yourself alive.

Freedom's as close as dreaming.



Chorus



Verse 3:

Blood & pain.

Tears & hurt.

Lying on top of chrome.

Sleet or rain.

Mud or dirt.

Left without a home.

Left here all alone.



Pre:

So they think we're all just liars.

Makin' stories just to tell.

But the cuts & broken bones.

It is proof we live in Hell



Chorus:

Can you stop what your stepparents have done?

They think abusive lives are all in fun.

Can you take this nightmare & throw it away?

Can you runaway & save yourself today?

Can you prove that we're tortured souls?

In balls & chains, trapped inside a hole.

Just when it all seems quiet & all pain free.

It's when they put a child, another child to sleep.
