A child is born in a loveless world
What a life will he lead?
Poor and cursed by fate and law
And no shoes on his feet
And it's so hard to be free
It's such a sad place to be
And when the morning brings the dawning he'll know it's not for him

Money's holy, forever first
Such a sweet taste of dirt
Fear is the fuel of their mistake
You will give, they will take
Baby they have got a plan
To leave you with empty hands
And when the morning brings the dawning, will you have saved your skin?

The most dangerous criminals
They work within the law
They who really want to hurt you
They wear no mask at all
And every chance, they will seize
To stab you and strip you clean
And when the morning brings the dawning, the pain is all they'll leave

And they would worship a dressed-up dog
To command and to hold
And they will call it their prince or lord
If that's what they have been told
And every bark, they will cheer
And they would hate to be free
And when the morning brings the dawning, their eyes will still be sealed
