(Hello you've reached the afterlife message center)
(The God you are trying to reach is not available to take your call)
Mama's gone and got herself a new man
It's a shame
He's the same
Mama please, please, stop pretending
This time, it won't end in tears
I find myself, with a new daddy
My mama needs love you see
Guess she don't wanna be lonely
And nobody's keeping score
I don't say hi to those guys no more
Said mama can't you feel me
Holding my breath as they knock, knock, knock on our door
You're just taking your ass to the top of that building
Throwing yourself under cars and trains
Taking the pill that you know will kill you
Under the wheels
The same, the same
Johnny's gone and got himself a new man
He gets laid, every day
Johnny please, please, stop pretending
This time, may just end in tears
Take care of yourself
Because you won't find daddy
When you're popping those pills
Oh Johnny, is the danger just part of the thrill?
And nobody's keeping score
Johnny those guys that you shake it for
I said Johnny can't you hear them
Sayin' mama knows best as they knock, knock
Knock on your door
You're just taking your ass to the top of that building
Throwing yourself under cars and trains
Taking the pill that you know will kill you
Under the wheels, the same, the same
Taking your ass to the top of that building
Throwing yourself under cars and trains
Taking the pill that you know will kill you
Under the wheels, wheels, wheels
You're just taking your ass to the top of that building
Under cars and trains
Taking the pill that you know will kill you
The same, the same, the same
Pretty girl, little girl, what were you thinking
Just 18 at the time
You were a mother and child, at the same time
You were a mother and child
So young and fucked up baby
Always higher than a child should see
Forgive me
To the top of that building
Under cars and trains
Taking the pill that you know will kill you
Under the wheels, wheels, wheels
Taking your ass to the top of that building
Throwing yourself under cars and trains
Taking the pill that you know will kill you
Under the wheels, the same, the same
Mama don't you let him stay
From bastard to loser, hurt you, used you in every way
Mama, don't let him stay, please
Don't let him stay
I said Jesus, Mary, and the Saints above
Won't you show him love?
