Little Bastards

He's hopping hedges with Benson and Edges
The coppers are quick on his toes
He won't get a favour from any a neighbour
Especially the ones down the road

She's like her mother, despite what her brother says
She's always out on her own
With no explanation or sex education
There's only one way this can go

Those little bastards, runnin' around in the night
Those little bastards, they can run but they can't hide
And there'll be no one there to take the blame
If no one's there to love those little bastards

They won't get out here
No, they won't get out here alive

Stuck in the Y.O, he's been there a while
But nobody else seems to care
She's got the power for visiting hours
But no way of making it there

He's all alone with nowhere to call home
And nobody to shatter the doubt
Guilt and confliction burns the addiction
This time he's not getting back out

Those little bastards, runnin' around in the night
Those little bastards, they can run but they can't hide
And there'll be no one there to take the blame
If no one's there to love those little bastards

They won't get out here
No, they won't get out here alive

She turned eleven, her daddy's in heaven
And everybody round here knows
'Cause she wasn't from here, she doesn't belong here
I guess that's the way that it goes

'Cause she's like her mother, despite what her brother says
She lives her life on the road
With no explanation and failed education
There's only one way this can go

Those little bastards, runnin' around in the night
Those little bastards, they can run but they can't hide
And there'll be no one there to take the blame
If no one's there to love those little bastards

They won't get out here
No, they won't get out here alive

And there'll be no one there to take the blame
If no one's there to love those little bastards
They won't get out here
No, they won't get out here alive
