Abandoned child, no one's baby
Ward of the state, a human mistake
Institutional living will drive you crazy

Grey buildings, grey people, grey food, grey walls
Grey buildings, grey people, grey food, grey walls

Life has just started, roommate is retarded
Friends, you got none, treated just like scum

Nowhere to go, nowhere to hide

Ain't no love, ain't no pity
Ya stole me away from my mama's titty

Grey buildings, grey people, grey food, grey walls
Grey buildings, grey people, grey food, grey walls

Turned eighteen, see any hope?
Think you'll fit, don't give a shit
Forget your past, 'cause nothin' lasts
See some die, see shallow lies
No going back
No going home
It's all pitch black

Stuck on drugs, goin' drinkin'
Feelin' nuts, goin' crazy
Feel like shit, feelin' queer
They got a label for this misbehavior
Call this living?
Goin' drinkin'
Call this living?
I think I'm dying!
There's nowhere to go!
There's nowhere to hide!
There's no one to trust!
There's no one to confide in

No going back
No going home
It's all pitch black

Big Brother's a spy and he's watching you
So do as your told and fit in the mold
He'll treat you cold, he'll eat your soul
He's your guardian angel, he's the master of control

Grey buildings, grey people, grey food, grey walls
Grey buildings, grey people, grey food, grey walls

No going back
No going home
It's all pitch black
And there's no god in heaven, so get off your knees
