Verse1

A few doors up there´s a room where they lie

 Their eyes are wise and the faces are grey

 Those nine are unlucky,

 disease in their veins

 With one million others they have no one to blame

Bridge1

 She didn´t care pushing H would give her an I and a V as the wage

But the shouting and drinking right there at home would make you want to fall

Chorus

So severe,

but why should I care?

That´s so severe, but that´s like some southern hemisphere

Verse2

Hey, who would take this kid, he´s 8 years old

His parents are dead and he doesn´t have a home

His big sister´s sold in a flat for any use

Pretty teenage is blooming for costumers to choose

Bridge2

Well, you cannot blame your sweet destiny

and that was his, he was born into this place

So much pain, so much poverty,

it makes you ask for any grace

(Chorus)

Verse3

In the autumn in the night on the street it gets cold,

boys may build a fire unlike they are told

If police shows up they can´t but escape

the dealiest muggings, hired by the state

Last Bridge:

Sometimes they must think of fleeing the world

and the suffering within

After 1991 it didn´t get better

like we all hoped for
