Take me out a long way from home
Now I've got to make it on my own
I've been raised in poverty
My back against the wall
There's no doubt
Got to break out
Out of the gutter
Onto the street
Out of the gutter
Onto my feet
I don't know who's my mum or dad
Looking for a love I've never had
Got to face reality
Life is just so tough
I've been pushed into a life of crime
Never really saw the danger signs
I've been raised in poverty
My back against the wall
I've wanted out so long
Where did it all go wrong
Now I've got to make it on my own
I've been raised in poverty
My back against the wall
There's no doubt
Got to break out
Out of the gutter
Onto the street
Out of the gutter
Onto my feet
I don't know who's my mum or dad
Looking for a love I've never had
Got to face reality
Life is just so tough
I've been pushed into a life of crime
Never really saw the danger signs
I've been raised in poverty
My back against the wall
I've wanted out so long
Where did it all go wrong
