Verse 1:   Children raised in Hell,   since their birth.   Neglected, no escape.   Prisoners of Earth.      Pre:   They protect themselves with flames.   & push their hands into the water.   Putting up with all the pain.   Where has the sun gone?      Chorus:   Can you stop what your stepparents have done?   They think abusive lives are all in fun.   Can you take this nightmare & throw it away?   Can you runaway & save yourself today?   Children treated like a handful of dirt.   Nurtures the ground, but poisons the earth.   Just when it all seems quiet & all pain free.   It's when they put a child, another child to sleep.      Verse 2:   Listen kiddo,   Can you see the light?   These tears injected,   Make 'em lose the fight.      Pre:   So you set the fire high.   You listen to 'em screaming.   You burn yourself alive.   Freedom's as close as dreaming.      Chorus      Verse 3:   Blood & pain.   Tears & hurt.   Lying on top of chrome.   Sleet or rain.   Mud or dirt.   Left without a home.   Left here all alone.      Pre:   So they think we're all just liars.   Makin' stories just to tell.   But the cuts & broken bones.   It is proof we live in Hell      Chorus:   Can you stop what your stepparents have done?   They think abusive lives are all in fun.   Can you take this nightmare & throw it away?   Can you runaway & save yourself today?   Can you prove that we're tortured souls?   In balls & chains, trapped inside a hole.   Just when it all seems quiet & all pain free.   It's when they put a child, another child to sleep.
