Alabama trailer park they call home
|
Boy standing at attention in the corner his own
|
Terrified, scorpion crawling the wall
|
By the way father, could you please beat me some more?
|
|
Anger rising up inside him yet again
|
Tell me you got a plan
|
Deaf and blind I'm living with the lepers and
|
You want to hold my hand
|
|
Cold Alaska, hiding, bundled up tight
|
Stretch aluminum foil 'cross the window at night
|
Mother crying, calling out up the stairs
|
By the way father, do you even care that I'm scared?
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Repeat chorus with "Devil rising up inside him yet again"
|
|
Generation three, solitary, alone
|
By the way father, created hell on my own
|
|
Chorus

Anger Rising
