[al:New York] |
[00:06.08] |
The bias of the father runs on through the son |
[00:23.67] |
And leaves him bothered and bewildered |
[00:28.61] |
The drugs in his veins only cause him to spit |
[00:34.08] |
At the face staring back in the mirror |
[00:37.98] |
|
[00:40.12] |
How can he tell a good act from the bad? |
[00:43.30] |
He can't even remember his name |
[00:47.78] |
How can he do what needs to be done |
[00:55.21] |
When he's a follower and not a leader? |
[00:57.75] |
|
[00:58.30] |
The sickness of the mother runs on through the girl |
[01:22.18] |
Leaving her small and helpless |
[01:27.01] |
Liquor files through her brain with the force of a gun |
[01:31.49] |
Leaving her running in circles |
[01:36.12] |
|
[01:38.11] |
How can she tell a good act from the bad |
[01:41.66] |
When she's flat on her back in her room? |
[01:46.48] |
How can she do what needs to be done |
[01:52.36] |
When she's a coward and a bleeder? |
[01:56.10] |
|
[02:37.48] |
The man if he marries will batter his child |
[02:42.82] |
And have endless excuses |
[02:47.21] |
The woman sadly will do much the same |
[02:52.93] |
Thinking that it's right and it's proper |
[02:57.62] |
|
[02:58.12] |
Better than their mommy or their daddy did |
[03:03.34] |
Better than the childhood they suffered |
[03:08.12] |
The truth is they're happier when they're in pain |
[03:13.39] |
In fact, that's why they got married |
