Bits Of Kids Lyrics - Now Then - Stiff Little Fingers

It was nothing like that in my day 

Here in my town 

We didn't get things all our way. 

Till we were full-grown 

Now they go into pubs. 

And you're gonna get mugged 

In my town 

So you read about it every day 

In the headlines 

How they take and take and drive away. 

Sex and late nights 

And it's gotta be wrong. 

Because they're so young 

They're only bits of kids. 

They're only bits of kids 

It's always bits of kids today 

She makes the breakfast, one of eight 

All in one room 

Each uncle's call keeps them up late. 

Yes, in this town 

And he won't go home 'cause he'll just be alone till night time 

They're only bits of kids. 

They're only bits of kids 

It's always bits of kids today 

Broken cities, 'n' broken homes. 

Bits of kids who don't grow whole 

Broken cities, 'n' broken hearts. 

Bits of people who fall apart 

And it seems there's nothing anyway 

Not here in this town 

Everything is only yesterday. 

And on the way down 

And we're gonna be wrong. 

So we gotta be strong 

In our town 

We're bits of kids. 

We're only bits of kids 

It's only bits of kids today 

Bits of kids. 

We're always 

Here in my town
