1. I started life deep in the city's slums

Not lullabies I heard, but guns

And while you held your own dear children close

I begged to eat, at night I froze

So when you see me don't avert your gaze

You'll see I have no cause to be ashamed

2. Why have you left me here out in the street?

Where is my home? Where should I sleep?

You don't admit that I am kin to you

Don't see that I'm a person, too

You go to churches where you pray and sing

Because your gods forgive you everything

3. You live in mansions and in towers high

Your windows shine, with blinding light

But if I had a force you couldn't ignore

So much I'd make you answer for

Open your doors and hear your brother's call

It's not my fault; it's not my fault at all

4. While you had gentle mothers all your own

In memories deep, I've never known

But when I dream of how childhood could be

Sometimes in dreams, she comes to me

Oh mother if I could but see your face

I know it would sweeten this bitter fate
