We're just slum kids, and we know it |
|
And we never stood a chance |
|
We were dragged up from the gutter |
|
From the wrong side of the tracks |
|
So how dare you criticize |
|
When you don't know what it's like |
|
To be dragged up from the gutter |
|
From the wrong side of the tracks |
|
Why do rich kids get all the breaks |
|
While the poor slum kids have to work, sweat, struggle and slave? |
|
Why, lord, there's so much injustice in this world? |
|
Slum kids never stand a chance |
|
Look at all the slum kids all around you |
|
Oh, they never stood a chance |
|
We were dragged up from the gutter |
|
From the wrong side of the tracks |
|
Why do rich kids get all the breaks |
