Lyrics
The Idiot Bastard Son
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
(all the time he would spend at the church he'd attend...
Warming his pew)
Kenny will feed him & ronnie will watch
The child will thrive & grow
And enter the world
Of liars & cheaters & people like you
Who smile & think you know
What this is about
(you think you know everything... maybe so)
The song we sing, do you know?
We're listening...
The idiot boy!
(all the time he would spend all the colors he'd blend...
Where are they now?)
