If you follow me I'll take you to a zoo
And I will show you the whole picture sister
Together with wires and glue you can't have
All the things that are rare because an atrocity here
Is an embarrassment there are you the little girl
Who'll grow up to save the world or are you the little boy
Who carries on the evil men do who will talk
For the beleaguered few what's it worth this pain of childbirth
It's something I know nothing of *well come on* you were once
The picture of innocence that was stolen a long time ago
They're still something of the earth salt or scum or both
Are you the little girl who'll grow up to save the world
Or are you the little boy who carries on the evil men do who will talk
For the beleaguered few what's it worth this pain of childbirth
It's something I know nothing of inner city slums and air powered guns
Taking the clothes lines and heading for the sun
Something died inside where something used to shine
You were once the picture of innocence and that was stolen a long time ago
Something of the earth salt of scum or both
That was a long time ago long time ago long time
Are you the little girl who'll grow up to save the world
Or are you the little boy who carries on the evil men do who will talk
For the beleaguered few what's it worth this pain of childbirth
It's something I know nothing of
Are you the little girl who'll grow up to save the world
Are you the little boy who carries on the evil men do
The evil that men do...
