I feel for you, you little horror
Safe at your mother`s breast
No lucky break for you around the corner
`Cause your father is a bully
And he thinks that you`re a pest
And your sister she`s no better than a whore.
Life seems so rosy in the cradle,
But I`ll be a friend I`ll tell you what`s in store
There`s nothing at the end of the rainbow.
There`s nothing to grow up for anymore
Tycoons and barrow boys will rob you
And throw you on the side
And all because they love themselves sincerely
And the man holds a bread knife
Up to you throat is four feet wide
And he`s anxious just to show you what it`s for.
Your mother works so hard to make you happy
But take a look outside the nursery door
There`s nothing at the end of the rainbow.
There`s nothing to grow up for anymore
And all the sad and empty faces
That pass you on the street
All running in their sleep, all in a dream
Every loving handshake
Is just another man to beat
How your heart aches just to cut him to the core
Life seems so rosy in the cradle,
But I`ll be a friend I`ll tell you what`s in store
There`s nothing at the end of the rainbow.
There`s nothing to grow up for anymore
