Reno Divorce Why'd You Give Up
Why'd You Give Up?
17 in a cold, dark basement,
The morphine dulls the pain, barely...
A dirty doctor with his dirty knife,
Cuts the cord 4 months early.
Labor pains, severed veins,
A baby's born, but there's no crying...
The "doctor" pries money from her hands,
As the "angel" lays there dying.
Hateful stares, sadistic glares,
As he walks to the back of the bus...
Atrocities of the 20th century,
Remind me again, in who do you trust?
When the other cheek gets beaten in,
All that's left is your pride to defend...
200 years of hate held within,
He wonders why you gave up on him.
The little boy waits patiently,
Diligently, for his Daddy to come...
So they can do all the things,
Daddy and his new family's done.
Mommy knows the pain he feels,
She's heard the other children taunt him..
The sun goes down, she ushers him in,
She wonders why you gave up on them.
