bits of kids

it was nothing like that in my day. here in my town

we didn't get things all our way. till we were full-grown

now they go into pubs. and you're gonna get mugged

in my town

so you read about it every day. in the headlines

how they take and take and drive away. sex and late nights

and it's gotta be wrong. because they're so young

they're only bits of kids. they're only bits of kids

it's always bits of kids today

she makes the breakfast

one of eight. all in one room

each uncle's call keeps them up late. yes

in this town

and he won't go home cause he'll just be alone till night time

they're only bits of kids. they're only bits of kids

it's always bits of kids today

broken cities

'n' broken homes. bits of kids who don't grow whole

broken cities

'n' broken hearts. bits of people who fall apart

and it seems there's nothing anyway. not here in this town

everything is only yesterday. and on the way down

and we're gonna be wrong. so we gotta be strong

in our town

we're bits of kids. we're only bits of kids

it's only bits of kids today

bits of kids. we're always. here in my town
