Sweet Child Of Nothingness

Sweet child of nothingness born into the street
The gift of life is all you get
And that is not so sweet
The tenement will be your castle
Cut right close and cheap perfume will mark you
And you'll only get escape by running in your street
Sweet child of nothingness how you're gonna rise?
You're looking up from way down under into indifferent eyes
The hand that reaches out to help
Will not be there when it takes what it wants and leaves you
Doubled up in pain to make it if you can
(Make it if you can)
Sweet child of nothingness you're looking good today
All the men turn and wonder what kind of games you play
Try to catch a rich man's smile
Go search for love, girl, find some guy to keep you
In the most expensive cage then, see if that's the end
See if that's the end
(See if that's the end)
