Current song lyrics
[ Robert Buck/Natalie Merchant ]<br /><br /><br /><br />That young boy without a name I'd know his face. <br />In this city the kid's my favorite. <br />I've seen him. I see him every day. <br />Seen him run outside looking for a place to hide from his father, <br />the kid half naked and said to myself &quot;O, what's the matter here?&quot; <br />I'm tired of the excuses everbody uses, he's their kid I stay out of it, <br />but who gave you the right to do this? <br /><br />We live on Morgan Street; <br />just ten feet between and his mother, I never see her, <br />but her screams and cussing, I hear them every day. <br />Threats like: &quot;If you don't mind I will beat on your behind,&quot; <br />&quot;Slap you, slap you silly.&quot; <br />made me say, &quot;O, what's the matter here?&quot; <br />I'm tired of the excuses everybody uses, he's your kid, do as you see fit, <br />but get this through that I don't approve of what you did to you own flesh and blood. <br /><br />&quot;If you don't sit on this chair straight <br />I'll take this belt from around my waist and don't think that I won't use it!&quot; <br /><br />Answer me and take your time, <br />what could be the awful crime he could do at such young an age? <br />If I'm the only witness to your madness offer me some words to balance out what I see and what I hear. <br />All these cold and rude things that you do I suppose you do because he belongs to you <br />and instead of love, the feel of warmth you've given him these cuts and sores won't heal with time or age. <br /><br />I want to say &quot;What's the Matter here?&quot; <br />But I don't dare say.
