It was nothing like that in my day, not here in my townWe didn't get things all our way till we were full-grownNow they go into pubs, and you're gonna get mugged in my townSo you read about it every day, in the headlinesHow they take and take and drive away, sex and late nightsAnd it's gotta be wrong, because they're so youngThey're only bits of kids, they're only bits of kidsIt's always bits of kids todayShe makes the breakfast, one of eight, all in one roomEach uncle's call keeps them up late, yes, in this townAnd he won't go home. 'cos he'll just be alone till night timeThey're bits of kids, they're only bits of kidsIt's always bits of kids todayBroken cities, 'n' broken homes, bits of kids who don't grow wholeBroken cities, 'n' broken hearts, bits of people who fall apartIn my townAnd it seems there's nothing anyway, not here in this townEverything is only yesterday, and on the way downAnd we're gonna be wrong, so we gotta be strongIn our own timeWe're bits of kids, we're only bits of kidsIt's always bits of kids todayBits of kids, we're always, here in my town
