CHILDREN IN PIECES
(Morrissey-Tobias)

Children in pieces in Irish industrial schools
nuns called "mothers"
and The Christian Brothers
kick the [bad word] out of very frightened children
judges and priests and police and cardinals
they look the other way
when the [bad word] 
they make use of those children in pieces 
in Irish industrial schools
nuns called "mothers"
and The Christian Brothers
kick the [bad word] out of very frightened children

You say you wanna go home
you say you wanna be left alone
and so you turn to me
but instead of sympathy I find 
my sentimental heart hardens
my sentimental heart hardens
get your hands off me, kid
you must be bad luck
my sentimental heart hardens
