Blood

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A kid got stuck on a sliver of silver Watched in the street by a gang of builders Blood running down into the gutter Next kid's caught climbing out the window Policemen switched off his Nintendo Mom couldn't do anything but stutter Now the first kid's laid out on a stretcher Red marks scrawled on a hooded sweater Stand back for the defibrillator And the second kid's steady four walls pacing He's thinking about the crime and the time he's facing Mom just said, "I'll see you later And I still love you You'll always be my little soldier I still love you Whatever, whatever, whatever you do" [Verse 2] Girl stopped dead hanging out the laundry Red G-string with the words "I'm horny" Blood drains from her face so quickly Mom gets home half an hour later Kicks off her shoes to read the paper Girl just sits there looking sickly Mom says, "Baby, what's the matter?" Tears fall as she begins to blabber At that moment Daddy walks in An atmosphere a knife could cut through Mom says, "We know what you've been up to I think you should pack your things, don't you? And I still love you Even though you fucked us over I still love you Whatever, whatever, whatever you do" [Outro] So it is, so it was, so it always will be So it is, so it was, so it always will be I still love you Blood is always thicker than water I still love you Whatever, whatever, whatever you do
