Scream at that woman 
Pound on the walls 
All is better now 
The kids curled up in balls 
You hate this place so much 
But only when you’re drunk 
Everything is not right 
The kids are a mistake 
But you won’t remember anything 
Will you? Will you!? 

Take this place and take this life 
Let it all fail him and fall to pieces 
Right before his own eyes 
But he can’t do anything 
Except tell more lies 

Children all huddled up now 
Crying and praying for tomorrow 
Only to here more thumps 
And screaming from their mother 
Just ten and twelve 
But wishing life would end 
To know dying a mistake 
Is not hard to comprehend 
Slaps, screams, and throwing things 
They wonder what their future brings 

Take this place and take this life 
Hearts could fail them and they could fall to pieces 
Right before his own eyes 
But he can’t do anything 
But watch as a loved one dies 

Take this place and take this life 
Right out from under his feet 
Show him what he has done 
Then leave him on the street 
No room to try now 
You can’t take it back 
The past is long gone 
And you still see nothing wrong
