88 Sons And Daughters
Well it all began like a new routine
We were drunk we were taught we were sick we were in between
And the jig was up when the sun went down
It was dark it was mean it was black there was not a sound
And when the morning papers did not call we shook our heads we knew that we were done so we sat and prayed for just another try
Throw your babies in the water, let you down like you used to
I don't know your sons and daughters. don't have to grow up like you, they're not suppose to
Now the beds don't sing and the cars want gold
There's a lump in your throat. There's no songs on the radio
Ad the walls caved in and the wall went dry and the mountain shook and the people all wondered why
And in the morning I woke up to find there was someone here . .theres someone in mind and so I held my head and. .and began to cry
Throw you babies int he water and let you down like you used to
I don't know your sons and daughters, they don't have to grow up like you, they're not suppose to
______________ you went its not hard to see what went through
If I told you once like I told you twice, you can beg you can kneel you can break, you'll be sacrificed
And in the morning papers did not call we shook our heads and we were done so we sat and prayed for just another try
Throw your babies in the water, and let you down like you use to
I don't know your sons and daughters they don't have to grow up like you, they're not suppose to
Throw your babies in the water, and let you down like you used to
I don't know your sons and daughters they don't have to grow up like, they're not suppose to
