Lou reed - endless cycle |
|
The bias of the father runs on through the son |
|
and leaves him bothered and bewildered |
|
the drugs in his veins only cause him to spit |
|
at the face staring back in the mirror |
|
How can he tell a good act from the bad |
|
he can't even remember his name |
|
how can he do what needs to be done |
|
when he's a follower not a leader |
|
The sickness of the mother runs on through the girl |
|
leaving her small and helpless |
|
liquor files through her brain with the force of a gun |
|
leaving her running in circles |
|
How can she tell a good act from the bad |
|
when she's flat on her back in her room |
|
how can she do what needs to be done |
|
when she's a coward and a bleeder |
|
The man if he marries will batter his child |
|
and have endless excuses |
|
the woman sadly will do much the same |
|
thinking that it's right and it's proper |
|
Better than their mommy or their daddy did |
|
better than the childhood they suffered |
|
the truth is they're happier when they're in pain |
|
in fact, that's why they got married |
