Suffer the Children

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Roland Orzabal] It's a sad affair When there's no one there He calls out in the night And it's so unfair At least it seems that way When you gave him his life [Chorus: Roland Orzabal] And all this time it's been getting you down You ought to pick him up when there's no one around And convince him, oh, just talk to him Cause he knows in his heart you won't be home soon He's an only child in an only room And he's dependant on you Oh, he's dependant on you [Verse 2: Roland Orzabal] And it seems so strange That at the end of the day Making love can be so good But the pain of birth What is it worth When it don't turn out the way it should? [Chorus: Roland Orzabal] And all this time it's been getting you down You ought to pick him up when there's no one around And convince him, oh, just talk to him Cause he knows in his heart you won't be home soon He's an only child in an only room And he's dependant on you Oh, he's dependant on you [Interlude] [Outro: Roland Orzabal, Caroline Orzabal] La la la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la la la Suffer, suffer the children La la la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la la la Suffer, suffer the children La la la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la la la Suffer, suffer the children La la la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la la la Suffer, suffer the children La la la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la la la Suffer, suffer the children La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
