Since it happened I had nothin' to say

Mother cleans his dreadful house every day 
Scrubbing at the stains that won't go away

They sent me away to the school in the park 
They said it would be good for me 
I still hear the other kids cry in the dark

Alone again in the lap of luxury
Alone again in the lap of luxury
Is there no escape from the lap of luxury
