Ragged Child

I broke my cigarette
I broke my cigarette
Dried up the river
Now there’s no place left to swim
And at the corner stands
An ancient blind man
He wears a headband
That reads, «There's nothing left to see here.»
Ragged child
Learn to smile
In the streets but you never learn to show ya teeth, no
Ragged child
Running wild
Stick your tongue out now’s the time to try and look mean
I got my problems
We got our problems
Nothing that money can’t fix but I still need some
That’s when our head’s will turn
From white and start to burn
So hide 'em from the sun and stick 'em down in to the dark, c’mon
Ragged child
Learn to smile
In the streets but you never learn to show ya teeth, no
Ragged child
Running wild
Stick your tongue out now’s the time to try and look mean
Ragged child
Learn to smile
In the streets but you never learn to show ya teeth, no
Ragged child
Running wild
Stick your tongue out now’s the time to try and look mean
Ragged child
Running wild
