Kids Story Lyrics

Kids Story by Mr Key

• Just a littl'un, give the kid some ritalin
• Twitchy finger, fiddlin' and pissin' in the litter bin
• Pity's what they're givin' him, the finger's what he's givin' back
• Pity she's a bitch and treats the kiddie like a little twat
• Jimmy was a piggie in the middle of a bloodbath
• Dirty rotten upstart, fuckin' up his one chance
• Trisha was a witness and a victim to her father's fists
• Carves her skinny wrist a bit suspicious that she asked for it
• Toast the happy couple, have a son but never simplify
• They love the kid but lack the basic skills to give him right
• Isn't like they didn't try, pocket your opinion
• God don't wanna listen to your gossipin' and whinging
• Wash him in a system, baptize him in obedience
• Frontin' like you're pure and force-feeding him your greediness
• Treat him as a deviant and leave him in the margin
• Or weed him out your garden and completely disregard him
• He's gettin' older now, how you gonna hold it down;
• And why should he obey the rules inside a school that sold him out?
• Used to be that you could see the light, his eyes are colder now
• Shoulder's hunched to fuck with skunk for puffing with an older crowd
• This ain't a story 'bout a kid who couldn't sort it out
• Drugs are just a normal thing we do to keep the boredom out;
• In smaller towns, all that's really going down is petty crime
• Gettin' high, neckin' pints, fightin' and forgettin' why
• Simon had a messy mind, Megan was a lost soul
• Met her in a dance pirrouetting on a hot coal
• Birds with dirty feathers stick together in a foxhole
• And use the love as glue to plug the wounds of bloody bomb holes
• Welcome to the stronghold, enter and escape the fight
• Tried to break the cycle, turning every sign of day to night
• Hate and unabated strife, straight without a chaser right
• Knock it back, safe to say the odds were stacked away from Si'
• and Megan trying to make a safer space to try create a life
• They played it right, and made it beautiful and safe inside
• The fateful night a child was born without a state of mind
• The lover's swore to dedicate their life to try to raise him right
• So raise your glass, to two courageous hearts that changed the path
• From hate and darkness into love and light and made it last
• Some days were hard to face, and mate you can't escape the past
• They looked the barstard in his dirty fucking face and laughed
• Take a chance, take a chance on what your love'll bring
• Ob la di Ob la da [The Beatles] and Que Sera's [Doris Day] the song the mother sings
• Trouble is the happy ever after's getting hard today
• The modern state will make an education to a marketplace
• Commodify the earth for what it's worth, and if your dirt's poor;
• Then ostracise the children at the bottom of the workforce
• There's only ever one winner in a turf war
• That licks a pretty penny out the pittance that you work for
• Who's world is this? I'm working so the kiddies know
• The world is yours but first of course you've gotta nick it though
• So fuck the politicians whistlin' that Britain's broke
• Shit's a joke, he's probably sniffin' coke from out a 50 note
• Stop. Sure it's all truth that you spit right
• But what's all this got to do with a kid's life?
• Well pop
• It's all linked, his eyes blinked, lucid with insight
• You see inside the kid's mind his thinking been developing
• Ever since a little youth the kiddie's been intelligent
• He wouldn't toe the line that's why they think he isn't getting it
• He's getting it, it's simply he considers it irrelevant
• And isn't it? He's literate and thinking for himself
• There's the question why there's little truth in what you tell
• Treat him like he's little, like you're bigger, time will tell
• Authority's a shop, and he ain't buying what you sell
• We see you're trying it, you give your lip service to autonomy
• I check the purpose in your personal philosophy
• It's like you're working in a version of Monopoly
• The person's only purpose is to service the economy
• Honestly, nahhh fuck that, he's on a better track
• They make music, move units, stay reppin' that
