The young don't grow up Well not in this life Big mouths and money Win every time Boy beats girl While the sneaky and snide Take all your money And take your pride [Chorus] Innocent people walking by No time to smile before they die Don't call that justice Children are starving on the street Another one disappearing every week Don't call that justice King for a day But their kingdom grows cold They'll never grow up But they're bound to grow old I remember the pain And humiliation And I'll show them rough justice The way that they did [Chorus: x2] Boy beats girl While the sneaky and snide Take all your money And take your pride [Chorus: x2] Don't call that justice
