And the hospital too 
 Did they think that you were better? 
 They were wrong 
 You had so many friends 
 They all left you in the end 
 'Cause they couldn't stand the patter 
  
 And I'll see you baby when the clans rise again 
 Women and children united by a struggle 
 Going down 
 You've got to walk into the water 
 With your sister and your daughter 
 In this free world 
  
 If I wore your shades could I share your point of view? 
 Could I make you feel better? 
 Paint a picture, write a letter? 
 Well I know what you're saying 
 But I see the things you do 
 And it's much too dangerous 
 To get closer to you 
  
 And I'll see you baby when the clans rise again 
 Women and children united by the struggle 
 Going down 
 With a pocketful of plastic 
 Like a dollar on elastic 
 In this free world 
 (I wouldn't tell you if I didn't care) 
  
 And I'll see you baby when the clans rise again 
 Women and children united by the struggle 
 And the ghettoes are full of Mercedes Benz 
 And you'd never hurt a friend 
 Who wouldn't tell you 
  
 It's cold and it's going to get colder 
 You may not get much older 
 You're much too scared of living 
 And to die is a reliable exit 
 So you push it and you test it 
 With 'Thunderbird' and 'Rivin' 
  
 And I'll see you baby when the clans rise again 
 Women and children united in the struggle 
 In this free world baby 
 Got to take it got to grab it 
 Got to get it up and shag it 
 In this free world 
  
 Going down 
 You've got to get into the water 
 Like a lamb goes to the slaughter 
 In this free world baby 
 Going down 
 With a pocketful of plastic 
 Like a dollar on elastic 
 In this free world 
 (I wouldn't tell you if I didn't care
