[00:32.48]
[01:28.16]We're taught unconditional love
[01:30.30]That blood is thicker than water
[01:32.66]That a parent's world would revolve
[01:34.97]Always around their son or their daughter
[01:37.33]
[01:37.64]You pretend I was your own
[01:40.13]And even believed that you loved me
[01:42.59]But were always threatened by some
[01:44.81]Invisible blood line that only you could see
[01:47.50]
[01:58.24]You took advantage of an outreached hand
[02:00.60]And twisted it to meet your every need
[02:03.01]''Gimme time to re-charge my batteries,
[02:05.41]I'll see her when she's older and I'll bounce her on my knee''
[02:08.22]
[02:08.52]Well listen to me you ungrateful fool
[02:10.56]Here comes a dose of reality
[02:12.79]You'll go to your grave a sad and lonely man
[02:15.22]The door is now closed on your pathetic little plan
[02:18.00]
[02:18.17]On and on and on and on it goes
[02:27.92]It's so easy to run away with nothing in tow
[02:34.98]
[02:36.13]How can you ever sleep a wink at night
[02:38.58]Pretending that everything is alright
[02:41.08]And have the nerve to blame this mess on me
[02:44.04]
[02:46.44]Never in my life have I seen someone
[02:48.89]So Ignorant to the damage he has done
[02:51.50]You're the rotted root in the family tree
[02:54.62]
[03:19.51]I tried your 4 bill therapy
[03:23.80]I tried to make amends
[03:29.34]But nothing could lure you out of your selfish shell again
[03:38.08]
[03:51.48]Expecting everyone to bow and kiss your feet
[03:56.18]Don't you see respect is not a one way street
[04:01.28]Blaming everyone for all that you've done wrong
[04:06.25]I'll get my peace of mind when you hear this song
[04:09.70]
[04:09.93]On and on and on and on it goes
[04:19.75]And with every passing day true colors show
[04:27.74]
[04:28.00]How can you ever sleep a wink at night
[04:30.76]Pretending that everything is alright
[04:33.14]And have the balls to blame this mess on me
[04:36.37]
[04:38.32]Never in my life have I seen someone
[04:40.86]Oblivious to the damage he has done
[04:43.52]You're the rotted root in the family tree
[04:46.46]
[04:49.22]Watch where you walk
[04:51.08]Don't you dare cross the crooked step
[04:53.45]Watch the way you talk
[04:55.30]
[05:00.86]Don't cross the crooked step
[05:02.62]
[08:45.79]On and on and on and on it goes
[08:55.31]Chauvinistic, heartless, selfish, cold
[09:02.97]
[09:04.02]How can you ever sleep a wink at night
[09:06.63]Pretending that everything is alright
[09:09.12]And have the balls to blame this shit on me
[09:12.10]
[09:14.42]Never in my life have I seen someone
[09:16.90]So fucking blind to the damage he has done
[09:19.58]You're the rotted root in the family tree
[09:22.81]
