• Hush

    Shhh baby, please don't cry.
    Your mom doesn't know any lullabies.
    Quiet baby, don't you whine.
    Mama's standing in the welfare line.
    Baby, here's another mouth to feed.
    Too bad her parents didn't take a moment
    To talk about the birds, & STD's.
    Shhhh baby, go back to sleep.
    It's not your fault your parents are ugly.
    Daddy won't stick around
    And Mom was too proud
    To go to the abortion clinic downtown
    Hush little baby, don't cry.
    Mommy's not here to sing you a lullaby
    She's become a whore on the street
    Here's where her pride discovers defeat.
