Lyrics

Holding your neck while the fuzz and the feds Are detaining your grandson for drugs Who would have thought that man he'd become Would look just like the grandfather's son Some would suggest that the past is the past And that wisdom exonerates youth But who would have thought that the shit you got into Could find its way back under your roof I've seen the system, darling I've fed this hungry machine I want my family, darling Not to see the things that I've seen I want the unprotected I want to see what I dream I want the inconvenience I hope you see that When you find that love isn't what you thought Don't lose hope, don't lose heart I fell much faster, but she fell much further Inevitably breaking her heart Haunted by memories that she cannot shake But her ghost has not darkened my door Darling, I pray that my heart soon would change If I'm failing to see what you are All I have I would give If for a second just to hold you I pray, my love, you forgive Any time I didn't hold you close When you find yourself lying there alone Don't forget what a dream you are
