Red Zebra - first day out lyrics

rate me

<b>first day out</b> by <i>Red Zebra</i><br />He was just a babya newborn child

so when he opened his eyes

he started to cry

with his tiny little tongue

coming out of his mouth

But your mother can’t stand your cry

And your brother wants you to die

And you father says

“he doesn’t look like me

And your sister says

“he’s so ugly”

So they gathered round your cradle

on your first day out

And they all laughed in your face

on your first day out

And they hid you from the neighbours

on your first day out

And they gave you no name

they gave you no name

He was just a baby

an innocent child

who could have grown up

to be someone

someone clever and bright

But your mother can’t stand your cry

And your brother wants you to die

And you father says

“he doesn’t look like me

And your sister says

“he’s so ugly”

So they took you out of your cradle

On your first day out

And they dug a hole in the garden

on your first day out

And they put a pillow on your face

on your first day out

And they murdered you

they murdered you

Oh mother, oh sister, oh brother, oh father
