Bad Parents

Don't say a word

Don't make a sound

Or you'll wake them

Don't move your arms

Don't move your legs

Or you'll wake them

And then the beating starts

And then the screaming starts

And then the haunting starts

When they wake

Don't think out loud

Don't talk on back

Or you'll anger them

Don't speak your mind

Don't move your hand

Or you'll anger them

And then the beating starts

And then the screaming starts

And then the haunting starts

When they're angry

And all I can do is cower

Take cover

And wonder

Why is it this way?

All all I can do is cower

Take cover

And wonder

Why is it this way?

But don't talk with God

Don't have a hope

Or they'll come for you

Don't ask for peace

Don't go to police

Or they'll find you

And then the beating starts

And then the screaming starts

And then the haunting starts

When they're after you

And then the beating starts

And then the screaming starts

And then the haunting starts

When they find you
