What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
my daddy used to sing me to sleep
2
with labor songs,
3
whisper me to sleep with stories of faraway lands
4
where things
5
were done right.
6
he let his child dream
7
cause he knew that while we sleep
8
Taco Bell births three new chains,
9
The biggest welfare mamas are steel buildings and
10
America's just a deadbeat daddy trying to grow up
11
a deadbeat daddy putting nickels in our cup
12
when the law says he's got to.
13
And I guess I should have guessed
14
your daddy wasn't kind
15
cause his mouth smiled before his eyes
16
never caught up
17
like a store sign flipped to open
18
but the door's still locked
19
like America,
20
saying come on in baby,
21
your uncle sam's lookin for a fix.
22
my daddy turned to vodka with a twist of lime
23
to keep his mind off of
24
America.
25
my daddy took off his ties and dressed
26
in expensive labor unions instead
27
my daddy was ahead of his midwestern charm.
28
and mostly, it don't harm you,
29
the daddy you come from
30
cause we all grow up
31
with the same melting molting America
32
up your ass while you sleep
33
Taco bell births three new chains around you
34
and you wonder why you never learned to walk.
35
your first step was towards your daddy
36
and your next step was towards your daddy
37
and your mama wonders sometimes if she failed you
38
But mostly she's relieved
39
your deadbeat daddy wants you.
40
cause America's discriminating
41
and the brain unlike the skin
42
is invisibly incriminating.
43
America takes shots at Blacks.
44
my daddy drinks shots to forget
45
America is a deadbeat daddy
46
the biggest welfare mamas are steel buildings
47
and so for the most part, we parent ourselves.
48
my daddy sang me to sleep with the way things should be
49
cause he knew the hardest part of my history
50
would be learning it.
51
so I drink a shot of vodka for my daddy sometimes
52
and I always make sure it's cold
53
like America, the deadbeat daddy,
54
who holds you tight
55
while you sleep.
