Strays

Hear us howling at your door
 Hear us crying in the wind
 Hear us fighting in the alleys
 Just to feel something
 We are hungry
 We are broken
 We are not worth it
 The mob has spoken
 We are strays
 Come on, let us in
 We are strays
 We are begging
 We are strays
 And we need love
 We need love like everybody does
 We've been alone so long
 That we'll never fit in
 We'll never belong
 We'll never have nothing
 We are tattered and bruised
 We are tired and sick
 We are dying for nothing
 And you know it
 We are strays
 Come on, let us in
 We are strays
 We are begging
 We are strays
 And we need love
 We need love like everybody does
 Some throw us scraps
 Others put out traps
 Our lives collapse
 And you don't like how we act
 Well, what do you expect?
 Our lives are wrecked
 And no one protects us
 From a culture of neglect
 If the weather doesn't kill us
 We're bought and sold to god knows who
 Our families split up
 And put in a zoo
 If we don't end up in a dungeon
 If we don't get shot and killed
 Our best hope is to be put to work
 And live a life of dreams unfulfilled
 We are strays
 Come on, let us in
 We are strays
 We are begging
 We are strays
 And we need love
 Yes, we need love
 We need love
 We need love like everybody does
 Like everybody does
 Yeah, everybody does
 We are strays
 Strays
 We are strays
 Strays
 We are strays
