Daughter, Daughter

Daughter, daughter flesh and blood
If I could rid it all I would
Every bullet that I found
Melt them down into the ground

Hopeless feeling that I can't
See what's coming round the bend
Have to keep your eyes wide open
But be blind enough to cope, and don't forget to say your prayers
Brush your teeth, and comb your hair

He was just a boy of ten
Never see his mom again
Fear and greed and fetishes
Force us all to live like this

Such a pity, such a crime
Ain't no reason, ain't no rhyme
Too much dumb luck just to make it out alive for goodness sake, don't forget to say your prayers, brush your teeth, and comb your hair

Daughter, daughter, it ain't fair
To be so young and so aware
Certain things should last a while
An innocence, a simple child

Daughter, daughter I believe
That kindness kills the poison seed
One divine deed in the heart
Can blow the devil all apart

Daughter, daughter flesh and blood
If I could rid it all I would
Every bullet that I found
Melt them down into the ground
