FIFTEEN LYRICS

"Survivor"

Your daddy beat you up
Your daddy beat you down
Your daddy put your mama in the hospital
Your daddy left town... he broke your heart

Your mama drank too much
Your mama hit you in the face
You had to make excuses for the bruises to all your friends
You had to live in disgrace... She broke your heart

Daddy came in your room at night
He took whatever he want
Your daddy was your first time
And your mama never tried to stop him... They broke your heart

My mama beat me up
My mama beat me down
My brother raped my sister
My family threw me out... they broke my heart

America is the place where the kids got broken hearts
America is the place where the kids got twisted minds bent on self destruction
America is the place where the kids got their wills broken into and broken in two
America is the place where the kids got broken hearts

And the adults say hush, keep it down now, voices carry
They say, don't tell anyone, don't tell 'em anything
Don't tell 'em what went on, don't tell 'em what really happened
Don't tell anyone, don't tell 'em anything
They won't believe you cuz it's all your fault
Hush

I made a bag out of a piece of cloth
I made a wish and I wrote it down on a piece of paper
I put the paper in the bag and I wished with all my heart
I said, please deliver me; low and behold it became reality

So I can say today
I refuse to believe that god created me to be tortured
I refuse to believe the earth created me to be abandoned
I refuse to believe that god created me to be neglected
I refuse to believe the Earth created me to be abused

I picked up the pieces of my broken heart off of the dirty boulevard
I found a punk rock kid who had a needle and some leather string
I made a wish and I said it, again and again I took the needle and threaded it
I sewed my broken heart back together again

I got family now, sew my broken heart back together again
I got a wife I love, sew my broken heart back together again
I got two daughters I love, sew my broken heart back together again
I got a family now

Who ever you are, whatever you do, where ever you are you don't deserve Abuse
Hush
