Pictures of the children on the classroom wall
Frankie Brown4s in front of them the fairest of them all
Working for the future with all his heart and soul
Who4s the one to tell him you4ll be signing on the dole

And you can4t run away, no you can4t run away
You can4t run away from the children of the dole

Pictures of depression in the mirror of the bar
The dole cheque on the counter, boys, it didn4t go to far
Another dream is ended, another job is done
Another factory4s closing and the boss is movin4on

And you can4t run away, no you can4t run away
You can4t run away from the children of the dole

Pictures of minister appears on the TV
Rehearses all the reason why this crisis has to be
The arm4s race is expensive wide more than we cannot give
There4s a lot for the killing but there4s not enough to live

And you can4t run away, no you can4t run away
You can4t run away from the children of the dole

Pictures of the soldier on the memory card
He didn4t want to fight but he didn4t have a job
Fighting for the motherland duty must be done
The boy who threw the petrol bomb looked just like his son

And you can4t run away, no you can4t run away
You can4t run away from the children of the dole

Pictures of the children hanging on the barracks wall
Frankie Brown4s in front of them the terror of them all
Standing on the corner nothing much to do
It4s the first time he4s been wanted he4s staring straight at you
