Scream Like A Baby

Well I wouldn't buy no merchandiseAnd I wouldn't go to warAnd I mixed with other coloursBut the nurse doesn't careAnd I hide under blanketsOr did I run awayI really can't rememberLast time I saw the light of dayBut I remember Sam 'cause he was like meChorus:Scream like a babySam was a gunAnd I never knew his last nameAnd we never had no funWell they came down hard on the faggotsAnd they came down hard on the streetThey came down harder on SamAnd they all knew he was beatHe was thrown into the wagonBlindfolded, chains, and they stomped on usAnd took away our clothes and thingsAnd pumped us full of strange drugsAnd oh I saw Sam fallingSpitting in their eyesBut now I lay me down to sleepAnd now I close my eyesNow I'm learning to be a part of soc-society(Chorus)No athletic program, no discipline, no bookHe just sat in the backseat swearing he'd seek revengeBut he jumped into the furnaceSinging old songs we loved(Chorus) (twice)Kingdom ComeWell I walked in the pouring rainAnd I heard a voice that cries "It's all in vain"The voice of doom was shining in my roomI just need one day somewhere far awayLord I just need one dayWell I'll be breaking these rocksAnd cutting this hayYes I'll be breaking these rocksWhat's my price to payWell the river's so muddy, but it may come clearAnd I know too well what's keeping me hereI'm just the slave of a burning rayOh give me the night, I can't take another sightPlease, please give me the nightChorusSun keeps beating down on me, wall's a mile highUp in the tower they're watching me hoping I'm gonna dieI won't be breaking no rocksI said "I won't be breaking no rocks"(I won't be breaking no rocks) Oh-oh-oh(I won't be breaking no rocks) Oh-oh-oh(I won't be breaking no rocks)When the kingdom comes (repeat ad inf)
