Anthem of the Abused Child
Why do I let you treat me,
the way that you do?
Why do I let you make me cry,
sayin' things that aren't true?
Why do I let you beat me down with the things that you say,
Going' round lookin' at me like fuckin' shit on your shoe?
Why don't I get the hell away
when I finally have a chance?
What makes me hang 'round and stay?
I should just run while I can
Why can't you figure it out,.
You just don't have the right
Comin' round,
Drunk and screaming
Middle of the night.
Banging hard
On my door,
Just can't take anymore,
Can't fucking sleep,
Can't fuckin eat,
Can't have no fun ,
Feeling stress
My whole damn life is a mess!
Why don't I get the hell away
when I finally have a chance?
What makes me hang 'round and stay?
I should just run while I can
Where do you
Get the right -
Telling me what to say,
The when the where and the who?
What to do,
How to do it,
Controlling my day?
Why do you treat me this way
Why do you say what you say,
Play the games that you play,
Each and every day?
Why do I let you treat me,
the way that you do?
Why do I let you make me cry,
sayin' things that aren't true?
Why do I let you beat me down with the things that you say,
Going' round lookin' at me like fuckin' shit on your shoe?
Why don't I get the hell away
when I finally have a chance?
What makes me hang 'round and stay?
I should just run while I can
Why can't you figure it out,.
You just don't have the right
Comin' round,
Drunk and screaming
Middle of the night.
Banging hard
On my door,
Just can't take anymore,
Can't fucking sleep,
Can't fuckin eat,
Can't have no fun ,
Feeling stress
My whole damn life is a mess!
Why don't I get the hell away
when I finally have a chance?
What makes me hang 'round and stay?
I should just run while I can
Where do you
Get the right -

Why do you treat me this way
