| Intro: You put me here where I don't belong. | |
| My body's old but my mind's still strong. | |
| You'd not believe the things they put me through. | |
| It would be so different if they happened to you. | |
| Look around tell me what you see - pain, suffering, and misery. | |
| Lonely people who've been locked away. | |
| With no desire to live another day. | |
| Left to die, I wonder why? We gave you the best years of our lives! | |
| Don't you see, you are me and soon it's you they will despise. | |
| You don't care, we don't dare. Who needs the hurt we'll just pretend. | |
| All is right, day and night, you see a smile but our eyes say- | |
| [Chorus:] | |
| When-When will they end all their apathy | |
| When-When will they open their eyes to see | |
| When-When will they end the misery | |
| When-When will he finally come for me | |
| When! | |
| Up at six, needle pricks, another day in hell's begun. | |
| Someone cries, another dies, we play a game that can't be won. | |
| Wet the bed, spoon fed, we relive our childhood again and again. | |
| And our sleep is no relief, for in our dreams we still cry- | |
| [Chorus] | |
| I remember when we were young. | |
| No thought at all of what we would become. | |
| They sold us a dream-said we'd never die | |
| But that was over sixty years ago. | |
| We're so much older an now we know, | |
| That what they told us was only a lie! | |
| Now we realize-what a surprise-everybody dies! | |
| Everyday I sit and pray, when will you come and take me home. | |
| Where's the love, from above, I feel so lost and all alone. | |
| I want to be young and free, not some fourth-class citizen. | |
| It won't be long and I'll be gone. 'Till then I'll just keep wondering- | |
| [Chorus] | |
| Please tell me when! |
