Society's Child Songtext
von The Third Eye

You come to my door, baby
Faces gleaming, shining in the night
Mother came to answer your note
Said, "You look so fine"
Now I understand the tears and your pain
She called you girl instead of your name
When she wouldn′t let you inside
When she turned and said, "Honey, she's not our kind"

She said, "I can′t see you anymore, baby
I can't see you anymore"


Walk me down to school, baby
Know the people acting like they're deaf and blind
Until they turn and say, "Why don′t you
Stick to your own kind?"
My teachers laugh, they smirk and stare
Cutting me down, it just isn′t fair
Teachers tell me what to do
They should leave us
But why don't they just let us be?

Oh, "I can′t see you anymore, baby
I can't see you anymore"

One of these days, I′m gonna stop my listening
I'm gonna lift my head up high
And one of these days
I′m gonna spread my blessed wings and fly
But that day will have to wait for a while
Baby, I'm only society's child
But those days, they must be
Won′t be now, but those days, they must remain

She said, "I can′t see you anymore, baby
I can't see you anymore
I can′t see you anymore, baby
I can't see you anymore"
