Iron Mask - Oliver Twist lyrics

An orphan English boy, So fragile and so young A life of poverty, He stayed in a workhouse since he's born No comforts and no food, He had to beg for more The beadle was no good man And gave the kid away He had to face their hate, He had to face their violence But one day he striked back And escaped for London To meet his destiny Oliver Twist, innocent lad There's only one way to survive Oliver Twist, you might get smashed You have to struggle for your life Oliver Twist, don't cross the line There's only one step to the crime Oliver Twist, better watch out Child of the street, keep up the fight Oliver Twist's always on the run Oliver Twist's always on the run Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh So naive, full of hopes, He met honest folks Then he lived with f*gin And his gang at Saffron Hill In the pickpockets lair, Ensnared he had to steal Again mistreated, He had to obey or he'll be k**ed Surrounded by evil souls, Just one man believed him as his son f*gin was arrested, Condemned to the gallows The kid found his family Oliver Twist, innocent lad There's only one way to survive Oliver Twist, you might get smashed You have to struggle for your life Oliver Twist, don't cross the line There's only one step to the crime Oliver Twist, better watch out Child of the street, keep up the fight Oliver Twist's always on the run Oliver Twist's always on the run Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
