Hell is for Children
Pat Benatar
 
 

They cry in dark
So you can't see their tears

They hide in the light
So you can't see their fears

Forgive and forget
all the while

Love and pain
Become one and the same

In the eyes of a wounded child.

Because
Hell, hell is for children

And you know that their little lives
Can become such a mess

Hell
Hell is for children,

And you shouldn't have to pay
for your love
with your bones and your flesh
 

It's all so confusing
This brutal abusing

They blacken your eyes
And then apologize

Be daddy's good girl
And don't tell mommy a thing

Be a good little boy
And you'll get a new toy
Tell grandma you fell from the swing

Because
Hell, hell is for children

And you know
That their little lives
Can become such a mess

Hell, hell is for children

And you
shouldn't have
To pay
For your
Love
With your bones and your flesh

No! Hell is for Children
