growing up with daddy who was always a drunk

now he's cleaned up

he's a righteous fuck

i got an education in poverty and the street smarts to prove it

hanging downtown on south main with the boozers and freaks till two a.m.

ten years old was the life for me

at least that's all i could foresee



[Chorus]

daddy was a drunk with no regrets

mommy sold pot and snorted coke



mommy was an internet junkie on welfare with no hope

five kids, no dad, no future, no chance



[Repeat chorus]
