Lyrics

I fought for every little thing that's mine
I don't give out I dont get in line
Cause I grew up in the streets
My parents did not believe in me
They kicked me out
Never let me back in
Said everything little thing I did was sin
Three times a day my father said his prayers
Then he'd beat me and drag me round by my hair
So get off the fairytale ride
I'm letting out all the pain I kept inside
Cause it ain't right but I got the right
I'll let it out what he tried to hide

Thanks Dad

Now might makes right
So you beat the child
What the hell
You know that he can't fight
Back me to the wall
Mommy mommy you loved to hear me call
You gave me life and
Tried to take it back with a knife
Now what would your God say that
How could you do it Dad
I just don't know.

Thanks Dad
