Innocence

Mind Funk

momma's hurtin' but she don't cry
just drown her sorrows in another's wine
daddy left us here to die
the hour is too late for the good life

made of flesh and bone
i'm a suicide hero, yes i will return
innocence is gone
lord it's so easy, cause i've got nothing to lose

so they kick me harder but i'm not riled
they can't break me, i got murder in my style
they sent me off on that no-chance train
must have lost my ticket, for the american dream

make me an idol
think they got the money, dollar to buy my soul
but i won't be controlled
and it hurts 'em so bad, knowing they can't hold me

they can't hold me

sit in front of the tv set, light another cigarette
always tryin' to forget you're lonely
man on the tv set, lights another cigarette
he's only tryin' to forget he's lonely

momma's hurtin' for yesterday
you can have it all, but there's a price to pay
you change the channel, but i don't go away
you took love from her, but you can't take it from me

made of flesh and bone
i'm a suicide hero, yes i will return
and innocence is gone
but lord it's so easy 'cause i got nothing to lose
