Morrissey - The Father Who Must Be k**ed lyrics

Step-child, you have outlived your time You represent embarra**ment and failure And the Father who must be k**ed Is the blight upon your blighted life And his might is his legal right To ground you down Step-child, with every petty swipe You just might find you're fighting for your life And the father who must be k**ed Is a step-father but nonetheless The way he chews his food Rips right through your senses Step-child, there's a knife in a drawer in a room downstairs And you, you know what you must do So the step-child ran with a knife to his sleeping frame And slams it in his arms, his legs, his face, his neck and says "There's a law against me now" And the Father who must be k**ed With his dying breath, he grabs her hand And he looks into her eyes He says "I'm sorry" and he dies "Step-child, I release you With this broken voice I beseech you" "Why are lives so short?" The step-child thought heart pointing to the sky "No one to warn me No hand to touch me And no Bible-belters to mess with me Momma don't miss me Momma don't miss me This d**h will complete me" "But where I go there will be no one to meet me I know there will be no one to meet me" But still the step-child pressed the knife to her throat Heart pointing to the sky "Just as Motherless birds fly high Then... so shall I So shall I So shall I So shall I So shall I"
