Dropkick Murphys – State of Massachusetts

by Stan Livshin on Nov.20, 2009, under Music

she had excuses and she chose to use them

she was the victim of unspeakable abuses

her husband was violent, malicious and distant

her kids now belong to the state of Massachusetts!

they’ve been taken away!

billy was the bright one

tommy’s off his head

mother loved them both the same,at least thats what she said

i don’t predict the future, i don’t care about the past

send them both to DSS, now you had your chance

the posion took your babies

the judges took your rights

you can have your children or the night!

I supposed youve been a victim

though i suspect you may have lied

have you lost all ambition why don’t you give this thing a try

if you can’t and you fail won’t be the only loser

these kid don’t stand a chance with you in their future!

they’ve been taken away!
