Music and Lyrics by Bowie



Well I wouldn't buy the merchandise

And I wouldn't fight no war

And I mixed with other colours

But the nurse doen't care

And I hide under blankets

Or did I run away

I really can't remember

Last time I saw the light of day



But I remember Sam 'cause he was like me



Scream like a baby

Sam was a gun

But I never knew his last name

And we never had no fun



They came down hard on the faggots

They came down on the street

They came down harder on Sam

And we all knew he was beat



Thrown into the wagon

Blind fold chains and stomped on us

Took away our clothes and things

Pumped us full of strange drugs

And oh I saw Sam falling

Spitting in their eyes

But now I lay me down to sleep

But now I close my eyes

And I'm learning to be a part of society



Scream like a baby

Sam was a gun

But I never knew his last name

And we never had no fun



No athletic program, no discipline, no book

He just sat in the back seat

Swearing he'd seek revenge

But he jumped into the the furnace

Singing old songs we loves



Scream like a baby

Sam was a gun

But I never knew his last name

And we never had no fun
