Blood

A kid got stuck on a sliver of silver Watched in the street by a gang of builders Blood running down into the gutter Next kid's caught climbing out the window Policeman switched off his Nintendo Mom couldn't do anything but stutter Now the first kid's laid out on a stretcher Red mask scrawled on a hooded sweater Stand back for the defribulator And the second kid's steady four walls pacing He's thinking about the crime and the time he's facing Mom just said "I'll see you later" And I still love you You'll always be my little soldier I still love you Whatever, whatever, whatever you do Gayle stop dead hanging out the laundry Reggie's dream with the words "I'm horny" Blood drains from my face so quickly Mom gets home half an hour later Kicks off her shoes to read the paper Gayle just sits there looking sickly Mum says "Baby, what's the matter?" Tears fall as she begins to blabber At that moment Daddy walks in An atmosphere a knife could cut through Mum says "We know what you've been up to" "I think you should pack your things, don't you?" And I still love you Even though you fucked us over I still love you Whatever, whatever, whatever you do So it is, so it was, so it always will be So it is, so it was, so it always will be I still love you Blood is always thicker than water I still love you Whatever, whatever, whatever you do --- Blood - Just Jack
