Children In Pieces

Children in pieces
In Irish industrial schools
Nuns called mothers
And their christian brothers
Kick the shit out of very frightened children

Judges and priests and police and cardinals
They look the other way
When the weekend comes they'll make you [A7suffer

Children in pieces
In Irish industɾial schools
Nuns called mothers
And their christian brothers
Kick the shit out of very frightened children

You say you [A7wanna go home
You say you [A7wanna be [Am]left alone
And so you [A7turn to [C7]me
But instead of sympathy I find
My sentimental heart hardens
My sentimental heart hardens
Get your hands off me
Kid, you [A7must be [Am]bad luck
My sentimental heart hardens
