The Forgotten Child Lyrics - Pet Shop Boys

Where is the child, does anyone know? 

She's been forgotten, when did she go? 

The times are brutal, borders are crossed 

Where is the child, the child is lost 

Where is the child? Someone must know 

Who saw her last? Why did she go? 

We were under attack, reaching rock bottom 

That was our focus, the child was forgotten 

It's an open secret, we spread and react 

And if it's not true then the rumours a fact 

Although she may have been sometimes forgotten 

There is no suggestion she was misbegotten

She was our reason, our religion, our cause 

Our best excuse for emergency laws 

Invoked so often to explain and subdue 

The forgotten child from whom we all grew 

Child of our nation, our icon, our future 

Gone from our records, on no computer 

The times are brutal, borders are crossed 

I think she took flight, and now we're all lost 

Where is the child? 

Where is the child? 

The times are brutal, borders are crossed 

Where is the child? The child is lost 

(Where is the child?) 

(Where is the child?)
