Halfway Boys Lyrics

Your mother your brother

They don't care about ya

Your lifestyle is hostile

And there's no way of getting out

You can't understand

Why you're skinny and your pushing mummy's pram

In your world it's all justified

He won't go to school today

Surrounded by class A's

Smell of beer and cigarettes

Another pregnancy test

Well the halfway boys

They haven't got much choice

Well the halfway boys

Scream and shout make too much noise

You're hungry you can't sleep

'Cause mum spent all the money

On 10 pills for cheap thrills

God knows what time she's out 'til

But you can't quite figure out

Why your daddy ran away and left you with nout

In your world it's still justified

He won't go to work today

Surrounded by class A's

No respect filled with regret

Another pregnancy test

Well the halfway boys

They haven't got much choice

Well the halfway boys

Scream and shout make too much noise

'Cause Dad goes down for a dodgy deal

And Mum gets caught drunk at the wheel

Well the halfway boys

They haven't got much choice

Choking on the smoke and dust

You haven't even felt a hug

Do you know what it's like to be loved

A school dropout trapped and abused

A lighter in his pocket with a shorter fuse

An empty stomach and holes in his shoes

Well the halfway boys

They haven't got much choice

Well the halfway boys

Scream and shout make too much noise

'Cause Dad goes down for a dodgy deal

And Mum gets caught drunk at the wheel

Said the halfway boys

They haven't got much choice

Well the halfway boys

They haven't got much choice
