(Life was taken from me, da di da di da!) [Intro] Life's innocence lost to belligerence, (La di dah) World's indifference breeds dissonance. (Dee da di) Heart needs munificence, gets indolence, (Tra la lah) Mind of diffidence never get deliverance. (Oh mi mi) [Verse 1] Wonders have never been abound, it's found, (Ob la di) This voice has taken an astounding sound. (Ob la dah) Troubled as memories that never were stir, (Na nah na) A child inside in a world that purrs blur. (Ooh la lah) [Verse 2] Colors fade, left afraid, unmade, (Bye bi bye) A child betrayed, prey, made afraid. (Di dee di) No today, in the past to stay, (Oh oh ole) Grey days, torn and worn, every way. (Gray di day) [Hook] A child's innocence lost, (La la lost) A cost for a heart tossed. (Ta ta tossed) Soaked in filth unwashed, (Wa wa washed) Hope's a blotch, squashed. (Skwa skwa squashed) [Chorus 1] A child, locked away to stay, (No no day) More life slips day by day. (Awa awa away) A world with no time to climb, (Gah gah gone) Youth fading, crime's design. (Puh puh pain) [Verse 3] Counting days from a bridge ledge, (Da di daze) Don't hedge, jump the ledge's edge. (Juh di jump) Mind's leashed, breached by a leech, (Bluh di blood) A bitch body twitches in a ditch. (Da di dead) [Verse 4] Seeing swings but can't sway or play, (No no play) Watch as dreams that gleam decay away. (Fuh fa fade) Memories stuck in mind, hiding behind, (Si si sin) Stuck, with others combined, confined. (Wee ah mah nee) [Break - melancholy violin solo] [Haunting, distorted, children singing] (Life's lost to me, tra la lah di dah!) (No joys in life for me, la di da la di dah!) [Verse 5] Tiny hands scrub pots, sweep floors, (Fa uh floors) A house of horrors behind closed doors. (Ha huh horrs) Feel small, can't recall, in freefall, (Fri fuh fall) Pain sprawls, inner brawl, left to bawl. (Cri cri bawl) [Hook] A child's innocence lost, (La la lost) A cost for a heart tossed. (Ta ta tossed) Soaked in filth unwashed, (Wa wa washed) Hope's a blotch, squashed. (Skwa skwa squashed) [Chorus 2] A child, shoved away, unbeloved, (Oh no luv) Pain thereof, fits like a glove. (Luh ves luv) No divine, no design, left behind, (Ba ba bind) Can't combine, resign, crossed a line. (Ra ri sign) [Verse 6] A life bitter, oh, to be a quitter, (Bi ba bitter) Wish to be a critter, born to a litter. (Ki ka kitter) A soul, cold, no control, a body old, (Oh so ole) Life took a toll, stole, won't be whole. (Ha no soul) (Ha no so) [Bridge] Pieces missing, gaps in life, (No mah mind) Stolen moments cut like a knife. (La sa mi mind) Stuck in a body yet a lost soul, (So les em tee) Always under another's control. (Co con tra le) Dreaming of what could've been, (Neh va wa) If there'd ever been a good win. (Win a sin) Reality twisting, slipping within, (Bro ka ken) Please stop, the future's so dim. (Di dee dim) [Break - melancholy violin solo] [Haunting, distorted, children singing] (No more life for me, dee da di da dee!) (Lost everything I used to be, tr la lah di dah!) [Hook] A child's innocence lost, (La la lost) A cost for a heart tossed. (Ta ta tossed) Soaked in filth unwashed, (Wa wa washed) Hope's a blotch, squashed. (Skwa skwa squashed) [Chorus 3] A child, made a parent, an adult, (So ah dul) Cries without praise, only insult. (Min in sul) Never be okay, innocence was prey, (Pra pruh pre) Stuck living in a gray decay, a stray. (Stray cat stray) [Outro] Stuck in a stolen mind, (Ooooh) Innocence lost to time. (Aaaah) A child in this body, (Ooooh) Wanted to be somebody. (Aaaah) Now a life destroyed, (Ooooh) Soul lost to the void. (Aaaah) Is there a point to life? (Ooooh) Or is it endless strife? (Aaaah) I swept, I read, I tried, I cried, (Ooooh) But on the inside something died. (Aaaah) Now I'm burdened by this weight, (Ooooh) Stuck in a beleagured hateful fate. (Aaaah) Can I ever be free, (Ooooh) Will the gate unlock for me? (Aaaah) [Stinger] Bring it back, (Puh pa plea) Can't let go. (Fah fuh fri) Let me be, (Bah buh bi) Set me free. (Fri ta bi) Let me be me, (Mi bi mi) Let me be set free, (Mi se fri) That's my plea. (Plea plea plea) [Haunting, distorted, children singing] (There was never a life for me, ooh la lah, la di dah!) (Innocence lost, stolen from me, duh di dah di dah dee dah!) [Outro] Stuck in a stolen mind, (Ooooh) Innocence lost to time. (Aaaah) A child in this body, (Ooooh) Wanted to be somebody. (Aaaah) Now a life destroyed, (Ooooh) Soul lost to the void. (Aaaah) Is there a point to life? (Ooooh) Or is it endless strife? (Aaaah) I swept, I read, I tried, I cried, (Ooooh) But on the inside something died. (Aaaah) Now I'm burdened by this weight, (Ooooh) Stuck in a beleaguered hateful fate. (Aaaah) Can I ever be free, (Ooooh) Will the gate unlock for me? (Aaaah) [Stinger] Bring it back, (Puh pa plea) Can't let go. (Fah fuh fri) Let me be, (Bah buh bi) Set me free. (Fri ta bi) Let me be me, (Mi bi mi) Let me be set free, (Mi se fri) That's my plea. (Plea plea plea) [Haunting, distorted, children singing] (There was never a life for me, ooh la lah, la di dah!) (Innocence lost, stolen from me, duh di dah di dah dee dah!) duh di dah di dah dee dah!) [climactic ending, increased intensity] Oh bla di (oh bla di) Oh bla da (oh bla dah) Tra la la (tra la la) La di da (la di da) Da di dee (da di dee) Le me bi (le me bi) Be se fri (be se fri) He he he (he he he)
