Did He Jump/Unfree Child/Mommy's Gone

    Who was that on the window ledge?
    Did he jump or was he pushed?
    He left a note which no one read
    In desperate hand the note just said:
    "Never turn my back on society
    Society turn is back on me.
    Never tried once to drop out,
    I just couldn't get in from the start."

    The children all played clever games
    The grown-ups gave them clever names
    Turned them all from very young
    On to the drug competition
    Feed them T.V. everyday
    Teach them just how they should play
    For the ones that start to stray
    Cut them off till they obey

    Our little friend was not the type
    To want to have to stand and fight
    Bully boys all could pick
    Upon the lonely little kid
    The grown ups all looked hard and long
    Said "He's got two feet he can stand on"
    We never like the sickly ones
    The boisterous ones are much more fun

    He found it hard to socialize
    Cause when he laughed or want he cried
    In the wrong place he'd be chastised
    An idiot to be despised
    Never learnt to play the game the way
    That your supposed to play
    Never learnt the things to say
    Or lock emotion safe away

    Who was that on the window ledge?
    Did he jump or was he pushed?
    He left a note which no one read
    In desperate hand the note just said:
    "Never turn my back on society
    Society turn is back on me.
    All the world can not be wrong
    It must be me I don't belong."
    "All the world can not be wrong
    It must be me I don't belong"
    "All the world can not be wrong
    It must be me I don't belong"
    "All the world can not be wrong
    It must be me I don't belong"
    "All the world can not be wrong
    It must be me I don't belong"

    The unfree child is full of woe
    Into the unfree adult he will grow
    Have unfree children of is own
    On and on and so it goes

    Take your hands from off your genitals
    Eat those greens and grow up strong
    Don't piss yourself it's very naughty
    Stephen, Stephen don't you shine
    Don't speak now we are talking
    Not a word less you disgrace
    There's people listening
    Don't embarrass us
    And never let us catch you masturbate

    When I was a baby my mummy told me
    If I was a bad boy daddy would scold me
    When I was a baby my mummy lectured
    If I was a good boy I would be rewarded

    Mummy, daddy, what more would you expected
    In your eyes I'm not to be respected
    Take you on but I'm just one reflection
    Of the values that you hold and the way you see them

    My mummy's gone
    To a place where I can't go
    A place that's cloaked in thy mystery
    Of corporate identity
    Supermarkets and three pike suits
    My mummy's gone
    My mummy's gone

    When I was a little girl my mummy told me
    Had to make an effort to make myself pretty
    Got to get a husband, got to have a baby
    Got to be a credit to the rest of the family

    Mummy, daddy, what more would you expected
    In your eyes I'm not to be respected
    Take you on but I'm just one reflection
    Of the values that you hold and the way you see them

    My mummy's gone
    To a place where I can't go
    A place that's cloaked in thy mystery
    Of corporate identity
    Supermarkets and three pike suits
    My mummy's gone
    My mummy's gone

    Now that I'm older, I know that you scared me
    But I don't hold it against you, though it damage me sorley
    I know you're a victim just just like me
    You can feel the pressure just just like me

    Mummy, daddy, what more would you expected
    In your eyes I'm not to be respected
    Take you on but I'm just one reflection
    Of the values that you hold and the way you see them

    My mummy's gone
    To a place where I can't go
    A place that's cloaked in thy mystery
    Of corporate identity
    Supermarkets and three pike suits
    My mummy's gone
    My mummy's gone
