(Verse:) I feel for you, you little horror Safe at your mother's breast No lucky break for you around the corner 'Cause your father is a bully And he thinks that you're a pest And your sister she's no better than a whore. Life seems so rosy in the cradle, But I'll be a friend I'll tell you what's in store There's nothing at the end of the rainbow. There's nothing to grow up for anymore Tycoons and barrow boys will rob you And throw you on the side And all because they love themselves sincerely And the man hold a bread knife Up to you throat it's four feet wide And he's anxious just to show you what it's for. Your mother works so hard to make you happy But take a look outside your nursery door There's nothing at the end of the rainbow. There's nothing to grow up for anymore All the sad and empty faces That pass you in the street All running in their sleep, all in a dream Every loving handshake Is just another man to beat How your heart aches just to cut hiom to the core Life seems so rosy in the cradle, But I'll be a friend I'll tell you what's in store There's nothing at the end of the rainbow. There's nothing to grow up for anymore but I'll be a friend, I'll tell you what's in store There's nothing at the end of the rainbow There's nothing to grow up for anymore
