Kinks - Babies Lyrics
Babies being born every dayIn a world where theres so much to discoverAll the babies crying out from the wombNot much room, can I come out mother?Mama, can you hear me call?Dont drop me nowcos its a long way to fallMama, I can hear all the soundsOutside its like a battlegroundAnd Im afraid to fall downInto the great big nowherePapas had a skin full of beerMama, dont let him into hereBaby, babyBabies being bornDifferent hormones and genesTheres so many of us out thereHow was I conceivedWas it love, was I meantOr was I just an accidentMama, what I sense from outsideIts a world full of fearAnd theres nowhere to hideMama, I feel safe between these wallsAnd Im so scared of heightsAnd its a long way to fallInto the great big nowhereMaybe papas getting pressure from his peersAre you straight, are you queerSo he made me, babyBabies being born, some are rich, some are poorBut theyre innocent and unpreparedLittle girls and boys, didnt ask to be bornBut theyre always popping out thereFalling into the great big nowhereMama, I know that once upon a timeYou and papa were richWhen you were both in your primeMama, now you got the painsAnd I know its nearly timeBut I dont want to join the crowdI see standing in lineBaby, baby, baby, baby, baby, babyBabies being induced, no excuse, whats the useSo theyre always popping out thereBabies didnt wanna be bornIll equipped, running looseBut theyre innocent and unpreparedMama, now you are showing all the signsBut is your world upside-downOn its head just like mineMama, now your ambition is mineDont make me overAchieve too much in my timeOh mama, please dont make me climbMama
