Morrissey - Suffer The Little Children Lyrics
School bell go "Ding! Dong! Ding!"
The children all line up
They do what they are told
Take a little drink from the liar's cup
If what they learn is true
Or if it's only lies
Just get them through the factories
Into production
Ah, get them into line
Late in the afternoon
The children all come home
They mind their manners well
Their little lives are all laid out
Mama don't seem to care
If she may break their hearts
She clips their wings off, they never learn to fly
Poor Mama needs a source of pride
A doctor son she'll have
No matter what the cost to manhood or to soul
Sun shine down, brightly shine
Down on all the land
Shine down on the newborn lambs
A butcher's knife is in his hand
Mama, she keeps them unprepared
To meet the enemy
That's comin' unto us
Teach them that evil dwells across the sea
Lives in a mountain
Like they see on TV
Down in the heart of town
The Devil dresses up
He keeps his nails clean
Did you think he'd be a boogeyman?
Oh, Mama's stuck with sagging dreams
She'll sell a son or two into some slavery
That's lucrative and fine
Just teach them not to criticize
Say "Yes" to bosses, impress the clients
Ah teachers of the world teach them to fake it well
School bell go "Ding! Dong! Ding!"
The children all line up
They do what they are told
Take a little drink from the liar's cup

Morrissey Suffer The Little Children Comments
Is that a tuba I hear?
When I saw the title I thought - is it a reflection back to The Smiths intro album to the world or something equally fabulous - and it is something equally fabulous x
Morrissey lo masimook 🤗
The last few years with his new band, his music is getting better and better. This is fantastic. Played it to my missus, she was blown away by it, thought it was really exciting and fresh.
Buffy Sainte-Marie song, from her pioneering 'Illuminations' album, way ahead of its time.
this is shit. i say that as a morrissey fan
Please mention the composer : Buffy Saint Marie !
Sister of Morri St.Marie :-)
Buffy the vampire slayer
Suffer the Little Children is a great song!
The lyrics are outspoken truth about education system & the social clishes that form our lifelines & the way we percieve reality itself.
The music is fantastic as well - rhythmyc & joyful & versotile - a high quality sound coctail. My pleasure. Thanks Morrissey a lot!
You're a fool this song is about big booty bitches and getting money. You know how we do
I wish more people would listen to this guy. He is trying to speak truth through song and he does it brilliantly. Sadly too many people are still asleep.
Terry Manning Ive tried and think too many people like this guy for being a pretentious know it all. 🤷🏻♀️
So evil doesn't just dwell in the mountain range of some Star Trek landscape, its nearer than you think playing on the see-saw with good :-)
The Sheeple Gave a Thumbs Down.
That God we have great independent thinkers like you
I thought it was the smiths cover at first glance
Do any of you bitches even know who the fuck Buffy Sainte-Marie is?
His best years are behind him I'm afraid.
Indeed, but the quality it's still there
after the Zenith of turning 50 we all tend back to base :-)
Maybe but he's good stock
so this is not a smiths song who is?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illuminations_(Buffy_Sainte-Marie_album)
Despite being unreservedly thrown out of a train cabin in the middle of the track its clear that I prefer to sip a fresh draught of his Guinness from the vista of the Buffy Car.
What a gorgeous lyric, fuck I've never heard this before.
5 disliked boss and teachers.
Truth.....
❤❤❤
I was about to start belting “over the moors, take me to the moors”
I was disappointed tbh
This is bloody leftist, but I like it.
He is a gem!!!
I'd enjoy this song more if 1. it was a smiths cover 2. morrissey stopped doing interviews
He doesn't do interviews, you idiot.
This song is genius! I'd never even heard it before Morrissey released it.
The original you could probably hear once, think was interesting but then move on.. this version has more "notice me" boom factor :-)

Great Morrissey ! Two singer can sing that song : Moz and Marc Almond
and possible Lady Gaga :-)
Moz should do an entire album of Buffy songs 💙💚💛💜
🎵🎶🎤🎵🎶🎙🎵🎶🎹🎵🎶
Apropos. Great rendition of this fabulous song🙏
WHAT???? It’s _NOT_ a Smiths song cover??? Awwww :’(
Another favorite to add to my list😍
@Rosida Andriyana Don't try to correct my spelling of the word. That's how we spell it in the US.
Sakinah Abdussamad US spelling is wrong.
Sakinah Abdussamad *Favourite
Fantastic.
Insight at its zenith as usual from Moz
Good experience music album :)
Morrissey OLDER... look LYKKE LI "Get Some" same song - See what Morrissey is saying, his ideas on immigration, fascist group, sexual abuse ... very sad that this is true and being said by a great artist .... https://ninalemos.blogosfera.uol.com.br/2019/05/24/morrissey-lanca-disco-novo-o-que-fazer-quando-seu-idolo-vira-um-babaca/ (My idol has turned into an asshole, what you do???) - SAD. Ps. I accompany and have all the artistic work of this gentleman.
I'd love to borrow Morrissey's iPod, he knows some right gems!
This is spectacular!!!!
no comment or magnifique
So true, we are controlled and manipulated by the Liberal 'elite'
All elite are corrupt
@Rosida Andriyana next time in English please 🙄
i love this man so much omg
Deadwood on HBO brought me here. "Suffer the Little Children."
♥️🇨🇱
This is art
Fantastic!!
School bell go "Ding! Dong! Ding!"
The children all line up
They do what they are told
Take a little drink from the liar's cup
Mama don't really care
If what they learn is true
Or if it's only lies
Just get them through the factories
Into production
Ah, get them into line
Late in the afternoon
The children all come home
They mind their manners well
Their little lives are all laid out
Mama don't seem to care
If she may break their hearts
She clips their wings off, they never learn to fly
Poor Mama needs a source of pride
A doctor son she'll have
No matter what the cost to manhood or to soul
Sun shine down, brightly shine
Down on all the land
Shine down on the newborn lambs
A butcher's knife is in his hand
Mama, she keeps them unprepared
To meet the enemy
That's comin' unto us
Teach them that evil dwells across the sea
Lives in a mountain
Like they see on TV
Down in the heart of town
The Devil dresses up
He keeps his nails clean
Did you think he'd be a boogeyman?
Oh, Mama's stuck with sagging dreams
She'll sell a son or two into some slavery
That's lucrative and fine
Just teach them not to criticize
Say "Yes" to bosses, impress the clients
Ah teachers of the world teach them to fake it well
School bell go "Ding! Dong! Ding!"
The children all line up
They do what they are told
Take a little drink from the liar's cup
O MELHOR!!!
Love it, sounds amazing!
I like I like
Familiar name hahaha
Vaya esto me pone feliz
This is brilliant.💜
Amazing!
Genius.
Man i love Moz so much!
