Seems to me you were snake-bitten from day one
|
Absent somehow when they shot off the right from the wrong gun
|
Always swimming in the deep end of your troubled pool
|
Opted for that asphalt as your chosen school
|
|
Then you got shipped off to DYS
|
Threw your life into a great big mess
|
But you could care less.
|
|
It's a tale of increasing woe
|
You know how the story goes
|
Hard Luck Kid has us all asking, why?
|
Once a shine in your mother's eyes
|
Failed attempts now make her cry
|
Hard Luck Kid when will you ever learn?
|
When will you ever learn?
|
|
From Southie to Walpole you went from small to bigger crime
|
Hanging out with cross colors crews, promoted to full time
|
Kept up in step, upped your rep, by pulling those hold-up jobs
|
Now you find yourself locked up with Cedar Junction mobs
|
|
Murphy boy is locked down in the can
|
Probably not part of the big plan
|
Does he understand?
|
It's a tale of increasing woe
|
You know how the story goes
|
Hard Luck Kid has us all asking, why?
|
Once a shine in your mother's eyes
|
Failed attempts now make her cry
|
Hard Luck Kid when will you ever learn?
|
When will you ever learn?
|
|
And I heard you just broke free from institution
|
Will you turn on to the right path for solution?
|
Cause I know inside there lies one more shot
|
Do not be the guy redemption had forgot about, left behind, got passed over by a criminal mind
|
Back to wrong, same old song
|
Pete wake up, get back on top, while you still own some hope
|
|
It's a tale of increasing woe
|
You know how the story goes
|
Hard Luck Kid has us all asking, why?
|
Once a shine in your mother's eyes
|
Failed attempts now make her cry
|
Hard Luck Kid when will you ever learn?
|
When will you ever learn?
