Scream Like A Baby

 (Bowie)
 
Well I wouldn't buy no merchandise
And I wouldn't go to war
And I mixed with other colours
But the nurse doesn'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
 
CHORUS
Scream like a baby
Sam was a gun
And I never knew his last name
And we never had no fun
 
Well they came down hard on the faggots
And they came down hard on the street
They came down harder on Sam
And they all knew he was beat
He was thrown into the wagon
Blindfolded, chains,
and they stomped on us
And took away our clothes and things
And pumped us full of strange drugs
And oh I saw Sam falling
Spitting in their eyes
But now I lay me down to sleep
And now I close my eyes
Now I'm learning
to be a part of soc society
 
CHORUS
 
No athletic program,
no discipline, no book
 
He just sat in the backseat
swearing he'd seek revenge
But he jumped into the furnace
Singing old songs we loved
 
CHORUS (twice)

Craig Hudson
Craig HudsonOddly that a guy who has done so much for gay, trans, racial issues would now be cancelled by the "Woke" because of lyrics in this and some of his other songs. Very strange times and Bowie prophesied it all in his music.

Nava LermanKing Bowie ???????????? A song that only a pure genius can write and sing like that. The whole album is as perfect as the creator.

Pup 100Bowie was up against Punk when this came out & he really picked up on the anarchic vibe of those times with a lot of the tracks being intentionally & beautifully sung & played out of key! ????????????

W RDWhat you hear in this track is total freedom to play with vocals albeit not perfect in range or pitch. The joy not to feel restricted or to conform. Tony Visconti let Bowie mess around as an an artist should!
