We Were Children - Tribes

It was a day like today

A Sunday afternoon when they took you away

Down to Hades in a shopping trolley

With a magazine and a suitcase

They stole your clothes

I took your watch

I couldn’t look you in the eye

Why is it always those who you love the most, you criticise, saying

Oh no stranger, you’re just like me,

These things happen, we were children in the mid-90's

Saying, oh no stranger, you’re just like me,

We get older, they get younger, it was you or me We stood there throwing ice cream in your hair

How I solemly swear

It’s the thing in life I regret the most

Leaving you standing there

And if you asked me I’d put my eyes out

And when I woke up blind

If you forgave me I would sleep at night

Knowing I’d led a good life

Oh no stranger, you’re just like me,

These things happen, we were children in the mid-90's

Saying, oh no stranger, you’re just like me,

We get older, they get younger, it was you or me Learnin' how to keep living

Oh no stranger, you’re just like me,

These things happen, we were children in the mid-90's

Saying, oh no stranger, you’re just like me,

We get older, they get younger, it was you or me
