Johnny Dowd
"Butcher's Son"

My Daddy cut meat
in a Safeway store
Was the local butcher
but he ain't no more
Mamma's drinking
Cause Daddy's a drunk
Sister's out back
shooting junk
They say I'm too young
to know my mind
I'm gonna leave
this town behind
I see my future
starting to crumble
Get out of my way
Unless you wanna rumble
I got a girl
lives across the track
We're leaving here
and wont come back
We'll steal a car
Hijack a plane
Call up a taxi
or hop a train
This whole town's full of hypocrites
Bankers, lawyers, and communists
Call me trash, my family too
To hell with them to hell with you
