DAVID BOWIE LYRICS - Scream Like A Baby

"Scream Like A Baby"



Well I wouldn't buy no merchandise

And I wouldn't go to war

And I mixed with other colours

But the nurse doesn't care

And I hide under blankets

Or did I run away

I really can't remember

Last time I saw the light of day



But I remember Sam

'cause he was like me



[CHORUS]

Scream like a baby

Sam was a gun

And I never knew his last name

And we never had no fun



Well they came down hard on the faggots

And they came down hard on the street

They came down harder on Sam

And they all knew he was beat

He was thrown into the wagon

Blindfolded, chains,

and they stomped on us

And took away our clothes and things

And pumped us full of strange drugs

And oh I saw Sam falling

Spitting in their eyes

But now I lay me down to sleep

And now I close my eyes

Now I'm learning

to be a part of soc-society



[CHORUS]



No athletic program,

no discipline, no book



He just sat in the backseat

swearing he'd seek revenge

But he jumped into the furnace

Singing old songs we loved



[CHORUS (twice)]
