Social commentary

lyrics

The Kid


Stick another pie in the fat kid

'Cos it's easier for you,

And sod exercise

Just feed it fries

As it's squashed into a seat for two.



Bang another game in its X Box

So you don't have to cope

With the boring themes

Of its hopes and dreams

As they're puffed away in your smoke.



Slap all the blame for your lifestyle

On the kid as it tries to sleep

To escape the pain

Slicing through its brain

Of the bullying that makes it weep.



Take another hit from your crack pipe

And let the kid sort out the mess

In the stinking hole

Of the dump that's home

Where it becomes more depressed.



Throw another punch when the money's spent

To remind the kid it's a drain

To buy it stuff

When there's hardly enough

Cash for your cocaine.



Knock another nail in its coffin

Pretend you don't know why

A kid so sweet would admit defeat

And lonely and lost...

...Choose to die.
