Can't Hide

Father, do you love me, do you think that i`m any good?

And mother, you would have been there, if you only could.

And brother, we used to be so close, now we`re so far apart...

And sister there will always be a place for you in my heart

Jesus, god, are you there?

I get the feeling, you don`t care.

There`s a pain deep inside, i can run, but you know i can`t hide.

The house is a mess, i believe i'll go outside for a while

You need a license to drive, but nothing to raise a child

And your alcoholism and fear run deep in my blood

And the welfare lines are always longer at the first of the month

Jesus, god, are you there?

I get the feeling, you don`t care.

There`s a pain deep inside, i can run, but you know i can`t hide.

Social worker came to take us for a ride

My self esteem was low, but i held my head up high ...

And that was the only time, i saw my dear grandmother cry...

`cause as white trash i was born, and well that`s how i`m gonna die.

Jesus, god, are you there?

I get the feeling, you don`t care.

There`s a pain deep inside, i can run, but you know i can`t hide.
