We’re stolen generation

Parents stolen by work

Or sinking back the bottle 

While we play in the dirt

We always keep our mouths closed

We don’t spill out the violence 

We never want to impose

So we scream out in silence 

We go to church

We say our prayers

At night we hug our teddy bears 

Mummy loves us

Daddy loves us

Even when our Daddy shoves us 

We cry out to be seen

Coz we invisible 

We sit behind our fences

Keep us divisible 

We grow up feeling separate

Craving mass unity 

We don’t know how to love 

Or live in community 

Put on your best shoes and clothes 

Hang your secrets up in rows 

Clean your teeth and go to bed

But don’t forget your screaming head
