Mama Papa It's cold in here
I'm hurt and I'm bleeding and I'm really scared
I don't wanna go back outside
Cause the bigboys are waiting and they'll get me one more time
And if we can't protect the weak
How can we call ourselves strong
Is the assurance that they seek
So beyond us all
Help me, someone, is anyone there?
This man asked directions and I said I'd help
Now I'm tied up and all alone
And I don't think he ever plans to let me
Go back home
And if we can't protect the young
How can we call ourselves grown
They place their trust in anyone
Only to lose it all
And when it happens we seem so surprised
Like we've not seen it all before
We wring our hands & cry
What do they do it for
What do they do it for
What do they do it for
Broken fingers & the phones too far
Can't even think now why I opened the door
Robbed and battered I've lost all pride
There was only enough cash to see that I got by
And if we can't protect the old
How can we call ourselves civilized?
And is the comfort they deserve
So difficult to provide?

Stiff Little Fingers sono una rock band nordirlandese di Belfast, formatasi nel 1977. Inizialmente si chiamavano Highway Star e suonavano cover di rock, fino a quando non scoprirono il punk. Dopo sei anni e quattro album, la band si sciolse, per poi riunirsi cinque anni dopo, nel 1987. Nonostante importanti cambiamenti nella formazione, continuano ancora oggi a girare in tour e registrare musica. Jake Burns, cantante principale, è l'unico membro rimasto presente in tutte le incarnazioni della band. Nel marzo 2006, il bassista originale Ali McMordie tornò a suonare con la band dopo il ritiro di Bruce Foxton (ex The Jam), che aveva suonato per quindici anni.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
