Lyrics

There?s a baby in the alley with her mother close by, cuddlin? by the fire, to keep warm, to keep dry

And they wander through the slums, in the night aimlessly, with no place to go, and no place to be

Something?s gone wrong with the human race
It?s lost it?s room, it?s lost it?s space
Something?s gone wrong with the human race
Where the poor man starves in the rich mans face

There?s Jammie in the cellar, shootin? up some coke, Tommy?s in the street with a gun up his cloak

They?re living in the dead zone, and nobody cares, except the undertaker, who keeps counting his shares

Something?s gone wrong with the human race
It?s lost it?s room, it?s lost it?s space
Something?s gone wrong with the human race
Where the pusher laughs in the junkies face

Did you have enough now, well listen to this, listen good

She was just fifteen, made her folks feel proud, upstanding lady, but with the wrong crowd

Now she answers to a man, with a black Cadillac, child of the night, makin? a livin? on her back

Something?s gone wrong with the human race
It?s lost it?s room, it?s lost it?s space
Something?s gone wrong with the human race
Where the young girls dance in the old mans face

Better all pray together, all pray together

Something?s gone wrong with the human race
It?s lost it?s room, it?s lost it?s space
Something?s gone wrong with the human race
Where everyone laughs in everyone?s face

Something?s gone wrong

Yea, something?s gone wrong
Something?s gone wrong with the human race
Yea, something?s gone wrong
Well, something?s gone wrong (Something?s gone wrong)
Yea, something?s gone wrong (Something?s gone wrong)

God, something?s gone wrong (Well something?s gone wrong)
With the human race (Human race)
Yea, with the human race (Human race)
Yea, something?s gone wrong (Something?s gone wrong)
Yea, something?s gone wrong (all wrong)
Yea, something?s gone wrong (all wrong)
With the human race
With the human race
Ah, something?s gone wrong (Something?s gone wrong)
Right now
