lyrics

THALIDOMIDE CHILD

When I was born I should have died
But medical science kept me alive
Coz what I’m missing deep inside
Makes a virtue of suicide

I’m a thalidomide child you can’t help me
Just curse the world that created me
I am deformed in ways that you can’t see
There’s a great big hole right inside of me

Don’t judge someone by what’s inside
There ugliness does not reside
But if you look beneath the hide
You’ll see the monster deep inside

I’m a thalidomide child you can’t help me
Just curse the world that created me
I am deformed in ways that you can’t see
There’s a great big hole right inside of me
