Daddy was a drinker
And mommy was a whore
They used to call on Sundays
Now they don't call anymore
No lullabies, no bedtime rhymes
To dry away the tears
The constant sound of spat and shouting
Is still ringing in my ears
But still I'm waiting by the window
Wish one day they will come for me
While another week is passing
Here in the protectory
We are the kids
No one ever cared about
We are the hopeless and helpless
From the dead edge of town
Whoa-hohoo
From the dead edge of town
The raindrops run like tears
From these cold gray concrete walls
Every road leads back here
Where their long dark shadows fall
Broken hearts and broken homes
Broken dreams and broken hopes
Broken bodies, broken bones
No escape, nowhere to go
We are the kids
No one ever cared about
We are the hopeless and helpless
From the dead edge of
We are the kids
No one ever cared about
We are the hopeless and helpless
From the dead edge of town
We scream with broken voices
But all our cries go unanswered
We're running and we're running
But we don't get anywhere
We are the kids of nowhere
The kids of nowhere
We are the kids of nowhere
The kids of nowhere
We are the kids of nowhere
The kids of nowhere
We are the kids of nowhere
The kids of nowhere
We are the kids
No one ever cared about
We are the hopeless and helpless
From the dead edge of
We are the kids
No one ever cared about
We are the hopeless and helpless
From the dead edge of town
Whoa-hohoo
From the dead edge of town
