Mdc – American Achievements lyrics

Abandoned child, no one's baby
Ward of the state, a human mistake
Institutional living will drive you crazy

Grey buildings, grey people, grey food, grey walls
Grey buildings, grey people, grey food, grey walls

Life has just started, roommate is retarded
Friends you got none, treated just like scum

Nowhere to go, nowhere to hide

Ain't no love, ain't no pity
Ya' stole me away from my mama's titty

Grey buildings, grey people, grey food, grey walls
Grey buildings, grey people, grey food, grey walls

Abandoned child, no one's baby
Ward of the state, a human mistake
Institutional living will drive you crazy

Grey buildings, grey people, grey food, grey walls
Grey buildings, grey people, grey food, grey walls

Life has just started, roommate is retard
Friends you got none, treated just like scum

Nowhere to go, nowhere to hide

Ain't no love, ain't no pity
Stole me away from my mama's titty

Grey buildings, grey people, grey food, grey walls
Grey buildings, grey people, grey food, grey walls

Turned 18, see any hope?
Think you'll fit, don't give a shit
Forget your past, cuz nothin' lasts
See some die, see shallow lies
No going back
No going home
It's all pitch black

Stuck on drugs goin' drinkin'
Feelin' nuts goin' crazy
Feel like shit feelin' queer
They got a label for this misbehavior
Call this living?
Goin' drinkin'
Call this living?
I think I'm dying!
There's nowhere to go!
There's nowhere to hide!
There's no one to trust!
Theres no on to confide in

No going back
No going home
It's all pitch black

Big Brother's a spy and he's watching you
So do as your told and fit in the mold
He'll treat you cold, he'll eat your soul
He's your guardian angel, he's the master of control

Grey buildings, grey people, grey food, grey walls
Grey buildings, grey people, grey food, grey walls

No going back
No going home
It's all pitch black and there's no god in heaven so get off your knees
