Slum Kids

We're just slum kids, and we know it

And we never stood a chance

We were dragged up from the gutter

From the wrong side of the tracks

So how dare you criticize

When you don't know what it's like

To be dragged up from the gutter

From the wrong side of the tracks

Why do rich kids get all the breaks

While the poor slum kids have to work, sweat, struggle and slave?

Why, lord, there's so much injustice in this world?

Slum kids never stand a chance

Look at all the slum kids all around you

Oh, they never stood a chance

We were dragged up from the gutter

From the wrong side of the tracks

Why do rich kids get all the breaks

While the poor slum kids have to work, sweat, struggle and slave?

Why, lord, there's so much injustice in this world?

Slum kids never stand a chance

Look at all the slum kids all around you

Oh, they never stood a chance

We were dragged up from the gutter

From the wrong side of the tracks

So how dare you criticize

When you don't know what it's like

To be dragged up from the gutter

From the wrong side of the tracks
