Nowhere Kids

Album: Smile Empty Soul (2003)

  • In the land of dirt and plaster
    Lies an army of a thousand nowhere kids
    Losing ground and falling faster
    Into a life that no one should have to live

    We are the people that you hate
    We are the bastards that you created (the fucking bastards that you created)
    A generation with no place
    A generation of all your sons and daughters

    Behind the fake family image
    Behind the smile of a thousand moms and dads
    Inside the cage that we've been given
    I see an image of the future that we don't have

    And what did you expect a perfect child
    Raised by TV sets abandoned every mile
    We never get respect never a fair trial
    No one gives a shit as long as we smile Writer/s: DEREK GLEDHILL, RYAN MARTIN, SEAN DANIELSON
