TW: Poverty Hey kid My kid I hope you’re fast asleep I’m in the living room crying To myself I am lying That you sow what you reap Hey kid My kid You have such a pretty smile Your belly is full The world is all your own I don’t want to fuck this up You didn’t ask for this You didn’t ask to be born Or penniless Grasping and grappling Just to get by I’ll protect you my dear Although I do fear You’re starting to understand The cruelty of the world Hey kid My kid Just keep your head up high We’re gonna try to fight Mom’s gonna be alright The world is yours
