Hell Is For Children
Composer(s): Pat Benatar; Roger Capps; Neil Giraldo
Performer(s): Pat Benatar; Rosemary's Billygoat



They cry in dark
so you can't see their tears
They hide in the light
so you can't see their fears
Forgive and forget
all the while...
Love and pain become one and the same
in the eyes of a wounded child
Because--hell, hell is for children!
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell--hell is for children
and you shouldn't have to pay for your love
with your bones and your flesh...
It's all so confusing
this brutal abusing...
They blacken your eyes
and then apologize...
"Be daddy's good girl
and don't tell mommy a thing"...
"Be a good little boy
and you'll get a new toy
tell grandma you fell from the swing"
Because--hell, hell is for children!
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell--hell is for children
and you shouldn't have to pay for your love
with your bones and your flesh...
