Babies

Intro:  E  A  D  A (2X)

E
Babies being born every day
 				 D
In a world where there's so much to discover
        E
All the babies crying out from the womb
               D
Not much room, can I come out mother?

C D           C
Mama, can you hear me call?
      G                        D           A7
Don't drop me now 'cos it's a long way to fall
C  D        C
Mama, I can hear all the sounds
    G                                       D             A7
Outside it's like a battleground  and I'm afraid to fall down
                   D
Into the great big nowhere

C
Papa's had a skin full of beer
Mama, don't let him into here
E A   D A   E A D A
Baby, baby

Babies being born different hormones and genes
There's so many of us out there
How was I conceived was it love, was I meant
Or was I just an accident
Mama, what I sense from outside
It's a world full of fear and there's nowhere to hide
Mama, I feel safe between these walls
And I'm so scared of heights and it's a long way to fall
Into the great big nowhere

Maybe Papa's getting pressure from his peers
Are you straight, are you queer
So he made me, baby

Babies being born, some are rich, some are poor
But they're innocent and unprepared
Little girls and boys, didn't ask to be born
But they're always popping out there
falling into the great big nowhere

G
Mama, I know that once upon a time
        A
You and Papa were rich when you were both in your prime
G
Mama, now you got the pains and I know it's nearly time
    A
But I don't want to join the crowd
      B
I see standing in line
E A   D A   E A   D A   E A   D A
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

Babies being induced, no excuse, what's the use
So they're always popping out there
Babies didn't wanna be born ill equipped, running loose
But they're innocent and unprepared

Mama, now you are showing all the signs
But is your world upside-down on its head just like mine
Mama, now your ambition is mine
Don't make me over achieve too much in my time
Oh Mama, please don't make me climb
