Hey Mom, Hey Dad...
Hey mom, hey dad,
You got a second to spare?
No, it's not important.
Just wanna know if you care.
It's not that I'm troubled (much)
A few things have occurred
Yes I know you're busy
Just wonderin' if you've heard...
No? Let me explain.
While you count green slips
I'm out with my friends,
We have these acid trips.
My girlfriend, yeah, Elaine
She's got a new secret
She's been stuck on bedrest
But her mom says to keep it.
Where's sis? Oh, well...
She watched Daren get slain.
Didn't take it well, either,
Stepped in front of a train.
My girl had the baby.
It's a shame they both died.
The baby was so immature,
Her father ate it fried.
I was gonna join the army,
It was supposed to be.
But the guy at the desk said,
"We don't take guys with HIV."
Oh! I became an artist!
I drew pictures with charm.
I'll use staples, tacks and razors
They're here, on my arm.
I lost faith in God, you see
Curch doesn't want them to sue
No more Mass or Confession
I'd tell, but I'll burn if I do.
Dad, you haven't seen Dave around?
It's a bit hard to say...
He was gunned down last week.
His dad found he was gay.
Shelby's been missing too
But her body was in the park
She was raped and abused
Because her skin was dark.
This bly eye? It's nothing.
I just got into a fight.
With the head-wrestler
Because my pants are too tight.
So mother, so father,
Have you much to say?
No, not much more
Has happened anyway.
When mom's at "work"
And when dad's at his shows
I'll dare to remember
How much my life blows.
Tomorrow, when the door's locked
And I can't hear you banging
Check the closet mom and dad
There you'll see me hanging.
