And the hospital too
 Did they think that you were better?
 They were wrong
 You had so many friends
 They all left you in the end
 'Cause they couldn't stand the patter

 And I'll see you baby when the clans rise again
 Women and children united by a struggle
 Going down
 You've got to walk into the water
 With your sister and your daughter
 In this free world

 If I wore your shades could I share your point of view?
 Could I make you feel better?
 Paint a picture, write a letter?
 Well I know what you're saying
 But I see the things you do
 And it's much too dangerous
 To get closer to you

 And I'll see you baby when the clans rise again
 Women and children united by the struggle
 Going down
 With a pocketful of plastic
 Like a dollar on elastic
 In this free world
 (I wouldn't tell you if I didn't care)

 And I'll see you baby when the clans rise again
 Women and children united by the struggle
 And the ghettoes are full of Mercedes Benz
 And you'd never hurt a friend
 Who wouldn't tell you

 It's cold and it's going to get colder
 You may not get much older
 You're much too scared of living
 And to die is a reliable exit
 So you push it and you test it
 With 'Thunderbird' and 'Rivin'

 And I'll see you baby when the clans rise again
 Women and children united in the struggle
 In this free world baby
 Got to take it got to grab it
 Got to get it up and shag it
 In this free world

 Going down
 You've got to get into the water
 Like a lamb goes to the slaughter
 In this free world baby
 Going down
 With a pocketful of plastic
 Like a dollar on elastic
 In this free world
 (I wouldn't tell you if I didn't care
