Society's Child

Society's Child - Lou Gramm

Composer：Ian

Come to my door baby

Face is clean and shining black as night

Mother went to answer you know

Said you looked so fine

Now I could understand your tears and your shame

She called you girl instead of your name

When she wouldn't let you inside

When she turned and said

But

She's not our kind

She says

I can't see you any more baby

Can't see you anymore

Walk me down to school baby

People acting like there deaf and blind

Until they turn and say

Why don't you stick to your own kind

My teachers all laugh their smirking stares

Cutting deep down in our affairs

Preachers of equality

They say believe it then why won't they just let us be

They say I can't see you anymore baby

Can't see you anymore

One of these days I'm gonna stop my listening

I'm gonna raise my head up high

One of these days I'm gonna raise my glistening wings and fly

But that day will have to wait for a while

Baby I'm only society's child

When we're older things may change

But for now this is the way they must remain

She say I can't see you anymore baby

Can't see you anymore

I can't see you anymore baby

Can't see you anymore
