ericprincessdragon - Gutter Baby (Live From Home) Lyrics

Just a baby
Fourteen years old
Scared to go back home
Take your chances
Hiding in the streets
And learning to survive
Starting a new life as
A gutter baby
Find some punks on the street
Who take you under their wing
They get you high and teach you to get by and you start traveling
In every new town new trouble with the same struggles
You graduate from the bottle to the pipe and to the needle
Oh gutter baby
Gutter baby
Gutter baby
Rabid on the street
How did the world forsake you
Gutter baby
They got you hooked
Hooked on poison hooked on violence
Hooked on crime giving every reason
For them to jack you up
Gutter baby
The cops know just who to f*ck with when they spot you on their beat
They'll take any excuse to pluck you off the street
They don't care whether they lock you up or drive you to the edge of their town
And they know that no ones gonna trip if they beat the shit out of
A gutter baby
Gutter baby
Not a baby
You're growing old
With dreams of your own
Done with trouble
All the drugs and drama
All the death and all the trauma
You leave it in the past
You're cleaning up your act
You're going to be a dad
Now you have yourself a chance
To give a love you never had
A baby
Your baby
It ain't easy to build when you've been beaten down
And thought you'd be the next young punk to end up in the ground
You've been cast aside abused and brutalized and didn't know why
But all the pain and trouble means nothing when you look in those eyes
And see no struggle
No fear
No struggle
Just a baby
