Sun City Girls - Six Kids of Mine lyrics

In a town full of hard luck cases There's a waiting there for me My pregnant wife's in a hospital bed In a ward of maternity With five children already at home I've reached the end of my rope I'll take a pillow from the closet And extinguish all of their hopes One at a time, their neck in my palm I'll squeeze the breath from their bodies And get rid of all of my spawn Dear god in heaven give them all your best For here on Terra Firma I need a little more rest Anticipation is my only name I took a pillow from the closet And choked my newborns flame I went down to bribe the doctor With a "C" note and when I left The d**h certificate said the reason Was attributed to crib d**h Its three in the morning And the screaming fills my head Its driving me god damned crazy And my face is turning beat red I'll smother the little screaming monsters Then I'll head on back to bed And at sun up in the mornin' They'll find another kid dead Six kids of mine and they're cryin' all the time It's three o'clock in the mornin' and they're drivin' me outta my mind I'll take the pillow from the closet and choke them all to rest And call the doctor in the morning and he'll blame it all on crib d**h Now, crib d**h is a horror It can strike at any time The good ol' lord can give life And he takes it all the same But I choked their little noggins And silenced the brothers grim And at the funeral parlor I blamed it all on him Now, crib d**h is a horror I bow my head to the east And I pray to god, I may be forgiven For altering his bountiful feast Though I haven't slept in ages I've got an alibi at least And now I can go on back to bed And finally rest in peace!
