lyrics

Bleeding down the street of my mothers,
Got no angel flying over me.
Pull me up when I'm down and under,
When I'm drowning in society.

Bleeding down the street of my father's,
Got a firm hand on my back.
Heck, he'll make me walk six thousand miles,
Broken trails of the promised land.

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

One hand for an aching sister,
One hand for a broken boy.
One hand in your face you piece of disgrace
Walking blind in the land of toys.

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

If luck was a son of the devil,
I'd be swimming through the gates of hell.
'Cause the gift that makes you happy
They're gonna poison with Jezebel.
I got water running under my window
Open up its gonna flow right in
Deep breath gotta make it through girl,
Don't wanna die floating thick in sin.

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

One hand for an aching sister,
One hand for a broken boy.
One hand in your face you piece of disgrace
Walking blind in the land of toys.
