a how-to guide on driving the kids to quit while they're ahead
lyrics
Beyond the stained glass window panes
The son of sickness tries to lick this problem where it stands
But we keep putting in our hands
With every fistful of two cents
The money stacks until it cracks the ceilings and the floors
The windows and the doors
The family's seated
The choir's leading, singing, "Oh my my"
The priest in white and black dress grandma
Singing, "Oh my my"
Crying, "Oh my my"
Wise man say
Keep it, feed it, make sure that you bleed it dry
Love it, squeeze it, but only if you need it to fly
That's how you get your loved ones to die
A mother licks her living lips
And goes to stick a dying kiss upon her young boy's face
His casket cheap and out of place
And no one should ever ever ever have to weather
The storm of the death of a child who was left alone out in the rain
The hail storm beating at his brain
Keep it, feed it, make sure that you bleed it dry
Love it, squeeze it, but only if you need it to fly
That's how you get your loved ones...
Now you're filling up your head with every funny thing he said
Wondering why you never laughed more than you had
Now it just seems sad
Wise man say
Keep it, feed it, make sure that you bleed it dry
Love it, squeeze it, but only if you need it to fly
Keep it, feed it, make sure that you bleed it dry
Keep it, feed it, make sure that you bleed it dry
Selfish, hellbent, they gave you every reason why
Just pull the plug yourself and say goodbye
Yeah well, maybe then your loved ones will cry
