Lyrics
Sonny Boy
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.
Sonny boy is growing up left behind his GI Joe
In the bathroom throwing up hung over from the punk rock show
He's got a real bad attitude he always comes home late
He swears and burps and acts so rude
Why doesn't he cooperate?
Why must they grow?
Why can't they stay the same?
How could I have raised that stupid bum?
I am so ashamed
He drinks and smokes and lies to me he comes home late every night
He tells me not to make a fuss then he goes out and starts a fight
He said he did not know about the pot under his bed
I really hate to say it but sometimes I wish that boy was dead
Why must they grow...
