You could hear him screaming
As you looked to be on the door
His only son was lying in a hip upon the floor
And from his rests that open wide
His life has float from deep inside
And in his hand a note that read
It's better if I'm dead
'Cause if so our life was back, all the times we never had
I can't say it's been nice because it wasn't
And, mama, please forgive me if I've missed the rug
But you can have it clean tomorrow
Oh, and you'll find some excuse to tell your guard in the
club
I'm sure they'll all express their sorrow
You could see them running
As they tried to get some help
Yeah, the neighboors all were borin' in to say how bad they
felt
How could this happen in a town
I hope it doesn't get around
And in his hand a note that read
It's better if I'm dead
'Cause if so our life was back, all the times we never had
I can't say it's been nice because it wasn't
And, daddy, even destiny have a good sign
'Cause here's your checks for cutting all my hair off
Oh, and from today I'll never let you down again
'Cause now your biggest problem taken care of
