Parents Guide to Living

Lagwagon

Wasting his days and his nights
Nothing's changed
Nothing's right

He has no sense of pride
Sees no respect in his parents eyes
And why should he care?

No one ever cared for him?
Wasting her nights and days
Sixteen with a child

God wouldn't have it any other way
And then they told her of shame
And that impurity made her bed

No fuckin' choice
She took two lives instead
All these worthless nights

All these wasted days
Down the path I follow you
Because who am I?

Denial
I still care
But it's my life in despair

Laughing harder
In self-conscious
I've played my last solitaire

That shirt's too tight to wear
Wasting my days and nights
Nothings changed

Nothings right
I know I'm not exactly
The parents guide to living

But it's the road less traveled
In this world so unforgiving
And I've lost count of score
