The Day I Left the Womb

Mother, where are you today?

You took a piece of me the day you went away

No recollection of the smell of your perfume

I took a piece of you the day I left the womb



Brother, put your needles down

The best thing for you is to leave this awful town

Pretty soon you'll have kids to feed

If you see mother tell her I can sing



Please don't worry, I am doing fine

You're much to busy to even find the time

So use your chemicals and take this to your grave

The boys you left are men you didn't raise



And Daddy, how are you today?

You must be proud of the boys that you have raised

Your withered heart and everything it's seen

Your cuts and callused hands, you had kids to feed

You had kids to feed



Please don't worry, I am doing fine

You're much too busy to even find the time

So use your chemicals and take this to your grave

The boys you left are men you didn't raise
