Bad Parents

Don't say a word
Don't make a sound
Or you'll wake them

Don't move your arms
Don't move your legs
Or you'll wake them

And then the beating starts
And then the screaming starts
And then the haunting starts
When they wake

Don't think out loud
Don't talk on back
Or you'll anger them

Don't speak your mind
Don't move your hand
Or you'll anger them

And then the beating starts
And then the screaming starts
And then the haunting starts
When they're angry

And all I can do is cower
Take cover
And wonder
Why is it this way?

All all I can do is cower
Take cover
And wonder
Why is it this way?

But don't talk with God
Don't have a hope
Or they'll come for you

Don't ask for peace
Don't go to police
Or they'll find you

And then the beating starts
And then the screaming starts
And then the haunting starts
When they're after you

And then the beating starts
And then the screaming starts
And then the haunting starts
When they find you
