Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Grow up, children, don't you suffer
At the hands of one another
If you like a sleeping demon
Listen, can you hear him weeping?
Tears of joy and tears of sorrow
He buys love to sell tomorrow
[Verse 2]
My life ain't no holiday
I've been through the point of no return
I've seen what the man can do
I've seen all the hate of a woman too
[Verse 3]
Feel your heartbeat, lose the rhythm
He can't touch the world we live in
Life is short, but love is strong
There lies a hope that I have found
And if you try, you'll find it too
Remember why I'm telling you
[Verse 4]
My life ain't no holiday
I've been through the point of no return
I've seen what the man can do
I've seen all the hate of a woman too
[Verse 5]
And they gave him away
Like in Whistle Down the Wind
By the look on his face
He never gave in
Written by: Bernard Sumner, Gillian Gilbert, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris
