Johnny's home
|
drunk again
|
quoting from 'the rights of man'
|
it's midnight
|
working late
|
job he hates
|
rage he can't communicate inside him
|
Susan's roused from her bed
|
to frozen kitchen
|
silent without protest
|
half asleep
|
food on stove
|
threat and insults
|
a rain of blows.......
|
screaming hell
|
|
Oh you feel the shame
|
oh you feel the pain
|
when there's nothing you can do
|
you carry it with you
|
|
Susan tries
|
her best to hide
|
the blues and purples around her eyes
|
with make up
|
she gets the kids
|
dressed for school
|
they all pretend
|
it never happened
|
little children bury deep
|
awful sectrets they must keep
|
inside them
|
damaged daughters
|
damaged sons
|
river of pain
|
in every one
|
|
Oh you feel the shame
|
oh you feel the pain
|
when there's nothing you can do
|
you carry it with you
|
