Suffer the Children Lyrics

[Verse 1: Roland Orzabal]
It's a sad affair
When there's no one there
He calls out in the night
And it's so unfair
At least it seems that way
When you gave him his life

[Chorus: Roland Orzabal]
And all this time it's been getting you down
You ought to pick him up when there's no one around
And convince him, oh, just talk to him
Cause he knows in his heart you won't be home soon
He's an only child in an only room
And he's dependant on you
And he's dependant on you

[Verse 2: Roland Orzabal]
And it seems so strange
That at the end of the day
Making love can be so good
But the pain of birth
What is it worth
When it don't turn out the way it should?

[Chorus: Roland Orzabal]
And all this time it's been getting you down
You ought to pick him up when there's no one around
And convince him, oh, just talk to him
Cause he knows in his heart you won't be home soon
He's an only child in an only room
And he's dependant on you
And he's dependant on you

[Interlude]

[Outro: Roland Orzabal, Caroline Orzabal]
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Suffer, suffer the children
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Suffer, suffer the children
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Suffer, suffer the children
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Suffer, suffer the children
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Suffer, suffer the children
