Lyrics David Bowie – Scream Like A Baby

Well I wouldn’t buy no merchandise
And I wouldn’t go to war
And I mixed with other colours
But the nurse doesn’t care

But I remember Sam
’cause he was like me

CHORUS
Scream like a baby
Sam was a gun
And I never knew his last name
And we never had no fun

Well they came down hard on the faggots
And they came down hard on the street
They came down harder on Sam
And they all knew he was beat
He was thrown into the wagon
Blindfolded, chains,
and they stomped on us
And took away our clothes and things
And pumped us full of strange drugs
And oh I saw Sam falling
Spitting in their eyes
But now I lay me down to sleep
And now I close my eyes
Now I’m learning
to be a part of soc-society

CHORUS

No athletic program,
no discipline, no book

He just sat in the backseat
swearing he’d seek revenge
But he jumped into the furnace
Singing old songs we loved

CHORUS (twice)
