DAVID BOWIE - Scream Like a Baby Lyrics

Well, I wouldn't buy no merchandise
And I wouldn't go to war
And I mixed with other colors
But the nurse doesn't care

And I hide under blankets
Or did I run away
I really can't remember
Last time I saw the light of day

But I remember Sam
'Cause he was like me

Screaming like a baby
Sam was a gun
And I never knew his last name
And we never had no fun

Well, they came down hard on the fagots
And they came down hard on the street
They came down harder on Sam
And they all knew he was beat

He was thrown into the wagon
Blindfolded, chains and they stomped on us
And took away our clothes and things
And pumped us full of strange drugs

And oh, I saw Sam falling
Spitting in their eyes
But now I lay me down to sleep
And now I close my eyes

Now I'm learning
To be a part of s-s-society
S-s-society

Scream like a baby
Sam was a gun
And I never knew his last name
And we never had no fun

No athletic program, no discipline, no book
He just sat in the backseat swearing he'd seek revenge
But he jumped into the furnace
Singing old songs we loved

Scream like a baby
Sam was a gun
And I never knew his last name
And we never had no fun

Scream like a baby
Sam was a gun
And I never knew his last name
And we never had no fun
