Scream Like a Baby [Bowie]

Well, I wouldn't buy no merchandise
And I wouldn't go to war
And I mixed with other colours
But the nurse doesn't care

And I'd hide under blankets
Or did I run away?
I really can't remember
Last time I saw the light of day

But I remember Sam 'cause he was like me

Scream like a baby
(Scream like a baby)
Sam was a gun
(Sammy was a gun)
And I never knew his last name
(I never knew his last name)
And we never had no fun
(No, no, no, no, no, we had no fun)

Well, they came down hard on the faggots
And they came down hard on the street
They came down harder on Sam
And they all knew he was beat

He was thrown into the wagon
Blindfolded, chains, and they stomped on us
They took away our clothes and things
And pumped us full of strange drugs

And, oh, I saw Sam falling
Spitting in their eyes
But now I lay me down to sleep
And now I close my eyes

Now I'm learning to be a part of societ--, societ--, sss--

Scream like a baby
(Scream like a baby)
Sam was a gun
(Sammy was a gun)
And I never knew his last name
(I never knew his last name)
And we never had no fun
(No, no, no, no, no, we had no fun)

No athletic program, no discipline, no book
He just sat in the backseat swearing he'd seek revenge
But he jumped into the furnace singing old songs we loved

Scream like a baby
(Scream like a baby)
Sam was a gun
(Sammy was a gun)
And I never knew his last name
(I never knew his last name)
And we never had no fun
(No, no, no, no, no, we had no fun)

Scream like a baby
(Scream like a baby)
Sam was a gun
(Sammy was a gun)
And I never knew his last name
(I never knew his last name)
And we never had no fun
(No, no, no, no, no, we had no fun)
