The idiot bastard son:
(THE FATHER'S A NAZI
IN CONGRESS TODAY...
THE MOTHER'S A HOOKER
SOMEWHERE IN L.A.)
The idiot bastard son:
(ABANDONED TO PERISH
IN BACK OF A CAR...
KENNY WILL STASH HIM AWAY
IN A JAR)
THE IDIOT BOY! (try and imagine the
window all covered in green...
all the time he
would spend at the church he'd attend...
warming his pew)
Kenny will feed him & Ronnie will watch
THE CHILD WILL THRIVE & GROW
And enter the world
Of liars & cheaters & people like you
Who smile & think they know
What this is about
(YOU THINK YOU KNOW
EVERYTHING...maybe so)
The song we sing: DO YOU KNOW?
We're listening...
(try and imagine the
window all covered in green...
all the time he
would spend all the colors he'd blend...
where are they now?)
