Children Of The Dole Lyrics

Children Of The Dole lyrics

Pictures of the children on the classroom wall

Frankie Brown4s in front of
them the fairest of them all

Working for the future with all his heart and
soul

Who4s the one to tell him you4ll be signing on the dole



And you can4t run away, no you can4t run away

You can4t run away from
the children of the dole



Pictures of depression in the mirror of
the bar

The dole cheque on the counter, boys, it didn4t go to far

Another dream is ended, another job is done

Another factory4s closing
and the boss is movin4on



And you can4t run away, no you can4t run
away

You can4t run away from the children of the dole



Pictures of minister appears on the TV

Rehearses all the reason why
this crisis has to be 

The arm4s race is expensive wide more than we
cannot give

There4s a lot for the killing but there4s not enough to
live



And you can4t run away, no you can4t run away

You can4t
run away from the children of the dole



Pictures of the soldier on
the memory card

He didn4t want to fight but he didn4t have a job

Fighting for the motherland duty must be done

The boy who threw the
petrol bomb looked just like his son



And you can4t run away, no
you can4t run away

You can4t run away from the children of the dole



Pictures of the children hanging on the barracks wall

Frankie
Brown4s in front of them the terror of them all

Standing on the corner
nothing much to do

It4s the first time he4s been wanted he4s staring
straight at you
