Why do they hate me mum?

"Why do they hate me mum?
What have I done?
Nothing, my baby,
You've done nothing wrong.

Then why do they hate me?
And call me names?
Don't worry, my baby
Its their little games

I don't like their games, mum
I don't want to play
I know that baby,
But what can I say?

Keep me at home, mum,
Don't send me to school
I have to, my baby
Its one of their rules.

When will they stop, mum,
When will they like me?
When they open their hearts
And their minds, you'll be free.

Never, you mean mum
Yes, baby, that's right
Go to sleep now, my baby
God bless, and good night."
