Mother, where are you today?
You took a piece of me the day you went away
No recollection or the smell of your perfume
I took a piece of you the day I left the womb

Brother, put your needles down
The best thing for you is to leave this awful town
Pretty soon, you´ll have kids to feed
If you see mother, tell her I can sing!

(Chorus):
Please don´t worry, I am doing fine
You´re much too busy, to even find the time
So use your chemicals and take this to your grave
The boys you left are men you didn´t raise


And Daddy, how are you today?
You must be proud of the boys that you have raised
Your withered heart, and everything it´s seen
Your cuts and calloused hands, you had kids to feed

Please don´t worry, I am doing fine
You´re much too busy, to even find the time
So use your chemicals and take this to your grave
The boys you left are men you didn´t raise
