God, what a mess, on the ladder of success
|
Where you take one step and miss the whole first rung
|
Dreams unfulfilled, graduate unskilled
|
It beats pickin' cotton and waitin' to be forgotten
|
|
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
|
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
|
The daughters and the sons
|
|
Clean your baby womb, trash that baby boom
|
Elvis in the ground, there'll ain't no beer tonight
|
Income tax deduction, what a hell of a function
|
It beats pickin' cotton and waitin' to be forgotten
|
|
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
|
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
|
The daughters and the sons
|
|
Unwillingness to claim us, ya got no word to name us
|
|
The ones who love us best are the ones we'll lay to rest
|
And visit their graves on holidays at best
|
The ones who love us least are the ones we'll die to please
|
If it's any consolation, I don't begin to understand them
|
|
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
|
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
|
The daughters and the sons
|
|
Young...take it, it's yours...
