The Ballad Of A Broken Home

Up to your throat in obscenities
Swimming in a sestpool
Of his filthy fucking lies
It'll take a lot to pull you out
But I've at least got to try

His words fall on deaf ears
They suck the joy from your life
He thinks he's got all the answers
But not this time

[Chorus:]
Go ahead
And make fun of somebody's son
That's afraid to go home today
Take his change
Call him names
T'hats the least of his concerns
Have you ever wondered
Why he's so quiet?
Speaking up at home
Makes him a fool and a liar

Show us your true colors
And quit playing your fucking games
Leave your mask behind
I've never once seen your true face
Even actors drop their character
When they walk off the stage
Drop your act
You're not fooling anyone
I hate your guts
You're going to loose your only sons

[Chorus:]
Go ahead
And make fun of somebody's son
That's afraid to go home today
Take his change
Call him names
T'hats the least of his concerns
Have you ever wondered
Why he's so quiet?
Speaking up at home
Makes him a fool and a liar

I've watched his promises fall apart
No surprises from here on out
When I see you
In the same place as me
I can't help
But could've done this sooner

Lift your chin up and rest easy
I'm by your side

[Chorus:]
Go ahead
And make fun of somebody's son
That's afraid to go home today
Take his change
Call him names
T'hats the least of his concerns
Have you ever wondered
Why he's so quiet?
Speaking up at home
Makes him a fool and a liar

[4x:]
A fool and a liar
