Mother may I, yes son I know it hurts
Mother may I, a scar for what it's worth
My life is hell is my home
With father's belt, more pain to come
God save the children
Take their souls and set them free
The way life used to be
God save the children
Away from backhand misery
From under lock and key
Son I hear you, don't cry or it gets worse
Son I hear you, the blood of daddy's curse
Abort the flesh of my own kin
To keep you free from your father's sins
God save the children
Take their souls and set them free
The way life used to be
God save the children
Away from backhand misery
From under lock and key
Well it's fallin' down on me
I'm just a p*** in god's own gallery
A child beaten for all the world to see
In the midst of all your glory
My life is hell is my home
With father's belt, more pain to come
God save the children
Take their souls and set them free
The way life used to be
God save the children
Away from backhand misery
From under lock and key
God save the children
God save the children
God save the children
God save the children
Mother may I, a scar for what it's worth
My life is hell is my home
With father's belt, more pain to come
God save the children
Take their souls and set them free
The way life used to be
God save the children
Away from backhand misery
From under lock and key
Son I hear you, don't cry or it gets worse
Son I hear you, the blood of daddy's curse
Abort the flesh of my own kin
To keep you free from your father's sins
God save the children
Take their souls and set them free
The way life used to be
God save the children
Away from backhand misery
From under lock and key
Well it's fallin' down on me
I'm just a p*** in god's own gallery
A child beaten for all the world to see
In the midst of all your glory
My life is hell is my home
With father's belt, more pain to come
God save the children
Take their souls and set them free
The way life used to be
God save the children
Away from backhand misery
From under lock and key
God save the children
God save the children
God save the children
God save the children
