July 1995
Just a child, just a child
But in his eyes he holds the world
Scars will tell the story
Of the depths to which he�s hurled
Savage bursts of fantasy
Anger and despair
Explain away the hellish pain
Just say that life ain�t fair
CHORUS: Just a Child, Just a Child
Just a Child, Just a Child
Just a Child, Just a Child
Just a Child
Daddy�s the entire world
He must be obeyed
Fear is such a little world
Beat beyond afraid
Not a person no
He�s an irresistible force
Smiles to his friends
While private Evil takes its course
CHORUS
Brother hears the world of god
Sister bleeds below
Mother cowers before a tyrant
She can�t overthrow
Dinner hot upon the table
Guns beneath the bed
Middle child sees the future
Knows he�ll soon be dead
CHORUS
Beaten from so many sides
Twisted from within
Doesn�t feel a single thing
Wears an ice cold grin
Life�s a dream, he wants to scream
Fighting to get out
But hair stands up upon his neck
Tonight the Belt comes out
CHORUS
