The End of the Rainbow

I feel for you, you little horror
Safe at your mother's breast
No lucky break for you around the corner
'Cause your father, he's a bully
And he thinks that you're a pest
And your sister, she's no better than a whore
Life seems so rosy in the cradle
But I'll be your friend, I'll tell you what's in store

There's nothing at the end of the rainbow
There's nothing to grow up for anymore

Tycoons and barrel boys, they'll rob you
And throw you on the side
And all because they love themselves sincerely
And the man who holds a bread knife up to your throat
Is four foot wide
And he's anxious just to show you what it's for
Your mother worked so hard to make you happy
But take a look outside the nursery door

There's nothing at the end of the rainbow
There's nothing to grow up for anymore

All those sad and empty faces that pass you in the street
All running in their sleep, all in a dream
And every loving handshake is just another man to beat
How your heart aches just to cut him to the core

Life seems so rosy in the cradle
But I'll be your friend, I'll tell you what's in store

There's nothing at the end of the rainbow
There's nothing to grow up for anymore
