Warchild

It's painful you know
The situation I am now tellin' my story
Is not easy to talk about it
But I found a way which I can
Talk about it through the music

Feel me gun, feel me knife
And me bullets to take the life from me
Feel me drugs to try and fight
All my memories of the night and day
I often ask myself to run away
I'm still ashamed that I ain't done it yet
I'm still feel bad from when they come my way
Good livin' in the summer day

'Cause I'm a war child, yeah
There ain't no love for no war child, yeah
Watch your back, lay 'em down
Pull the trigger, bang pull me on the floor
Bang me on the kitchen sink
Why you can't fight? Tell me
Why they have to go
Take me to your village and
Prepare me for the war

Livin' sin, livin' walls this is my fear now
Mama dead, father cried try to find a way to
People that like me inside
This the war, ain't no stoppin' now
Bodies on the floor, children on them bodies
When you hear the roar, who is causin' that?
Oh that just be me you must
Of got me in the eye

'Cause I'm a war child, yeah
There ain't no love for no war child, yeah
Watch your back, lay 'em down
Pull the trigger, bang pull me on the floor
Bang me on the kitchen sink
Why you can't fight? Tell me
Why they have to go
Take me to your village and
Prepare me for the war

Interviewer: When you were a kid
Goin' through this stuff
You were goin' through it even as a child
Did you lose hope and faith?
Tory: A point where I lose, I
Want to shoot myself you know
A couple of times I cock my gun and
I put it on my head and
Interviewer: "And how old were you?"
Tory: I was uh
The time I did that I think I was 11 and a
Half and sometime, I don't know what stopped
Me somethin' told me to die, Nigel
Don't die because you are
Shootin' yourself and that's the situation
One of the situation you know
About part of the
Story I told you I was almost hittin'
My friend there was so many
Things goin' on in
My head a place, I'm walkin' in the desert
When we had no water and so I was
So thirsty and I wanted to finish myself
