Troubled Child Songtext
von Sam Dees

Have you ever woke up in the morning
Without a place to lay your head?
Wanting a piece of bread and not a toy instead?
The streets instead of a school playground
A tear instead of a beaming smile

Troubled child
Grown before his time
Yeah, yeah

Peeping out of a window of an empty tenement slum
Looking for his dad and didn′t know his mum
Hard times is the only thing he'll see
Loved is something he′s never been


Troubled child, yeah
Said he's grown before his time
Hey, yeah
Hey-hey-hey, yeah, yeah
Oh no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh-huh

He never, never had time for toys
Surviving is hard enough for a boy
And the hurting part is no one seems to care
A hard life in the ghetto is an everyday affair

Troubled child, yeah, yeah
Troubled child, yeah

Oh, he sounds a lot like me (Troubled child)
Hey-hey, hey-hey-hey, yeah (Troubled child)
Oh

Troubled child, yeah (Troubled child)
Wonder what's gonna happen to you, oh (Troubled child)
Hey-hey-hey-hey, yeah, yeah
Troubled child (Troubled child)
Sound like me, me, me, me, me, me (Troubled child)
Uh-huh, hey, hey-hey, yeah, yeah (Troubled child)
