This is a song about an innocent   Who died at the hands of a desperate man   He trusted those who he thought he knew   He trusted those who he looked up to      I'll never forget the joy in his face   He'd laugh and he'd cry and he'd ruin my place   He'd drive me crazy, and he'd drive me wild   I used to scream and shout all day long      Now I hope you know this song   Is about a child who now has gone   And other children like him, too   Abused and used by what adults do      So don't tell me about politics   Or all the problems of our economics   When you can't look after what you can't own   You scream and shout all day long
