wherever were you when time begun
and where the hell were you when i was young
well i bet you were out drinkin' at the bar
while mom was givin' birth to me in the car
there once was a time when i was in need
but i think you were out sniffin' speed
and i bet now that you're old and weak
you wish you had your son to speak
the memories of you are so far
i've bottled them all up in a jar
so that one may see your wasteful time
yet never contract your piece of mind
i don't think you'll ever understand
how much you were in demand
and i don't think you'll ever understand
how much you were in demand
if you knew and couldn't tell
i hope you burn in hell
wherever were you when time begun
and were the hell were you when i was young
i can almost imagine those days with you
playin' baseball and shootin' some hoop
i can almost picture the way you looked
as i remember the time you read my book
a time when i never missed you
the time when i had much trust in you
but as i clear my hazy eyes
remember all your bullshit lies
and how you walked all over mom
and now you're gone
