Suffer the Children lyrics

It's a sad affair

When there's no one there

He calls out in the night

And it's so unfair

At least it seems that way

When you gave him his life

And all this time he's been getting you down

You ought to pick him up when there's no one around

And convince him, oh just talk to him

'Cause he knows in his heart you won't be home soon

'Cause he's an only child in an only room

And he's dependent on you

Oh he's dependent on you

And it seems so strange

That at the end of the day

Making love can be so good

But the pain of birth

Oh what is it worth

When it don't turn out the way it should

And all this time he's been getting you down

You ought to pick him up when there's no one around

And convince him, oh just talk to him

'Cause he knows in his heart you won't be home soon

'Cause he's an only child in an only room

And he's dependent on you

Oh he's dependent on you

Suffer the

Suffer the children

Suffer the

Suffer the children

Suffer the

Suffer the children

Suffer the

Suffer the children

Suffer the

Suffer the children

Suffer the

Suffer the children
