Somewhere a Child Is Crying Lyrics by Carey’s Problem

Arena of Shame

1989

[Carey Burtt, Lisa Jenio, both]
Doctor, please help me, my baby's dead
Doctor, please help me, my baby's dead
She's got broken ribs and broken bones
Third-degree burns and a fractured head
(How did she get this way?)
She kept on screaming! So I spanked her
She kept on screaming! So I punched her
She kept on screaming! So I pulled her hair
She kept on screaming! So I threw her down the stairs
This child won't listen, she won't go to sleep
Shе wets her pants, she doеsn't want to eat
So I let her lie there in her own filth
And stuff the food right down her throat
Oh, Mommy, Mommy, I’m sorry I wouldn’t eat my dinner!
I didn’t mean to misbehave!
Please give me some more meatloaf!
It’s good! It’s good!
Oh, oh, oh!
Mommy, mommy, please let me out of the closet!
I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to be bad!
Open the door! Open the door!
She kept on screaming! So I burned her with a cigarette
She kept on screaming! So I bashed her in the head
She kept on screaming! So I broke her arm
She kept on screaming!
How else is she gonna learn...
...Right from wrong?
Right from wrong?
Right from wrong?
