Tommy boy, he's got a gun
God knows where he got it from
He got it back in sixty-one
Now that boy's in trouble
He's been left here on his own
Tommy boy, he's all alone
He makes him wish he'd not been born
And he's still afraid
Well, he learnt to fight
And not to run
o he's not scared of anyone
it seems so long, so long ago
where has he to go?
The police are on Tommy's back
They say he has been doing crack
He says it gets his mind on track
Now his life's aware
Now Tommy boy has been doing time
He says he didn't commit the crime
Jack says he's no friend of mine
He's got no real friends
Well, he learnt to fight
And not to run
o he's not scared of anyone
it seems so long, so long ago
where has he to go?
Well, he learnt to fight
And not to run
o he's not scared of anyone
it seems so long, so long ago
where has he to go?
That boy's in deep, deep trouble
He's sinking like a stone
And he's going nowhere
That boy's in deep, deep trouble
He's got no place to go
And he's going nowhere
