Generate meaning
1
Stepchild, you have outlived your time
2
You represent embarrassment and failure
3
And the father who must be killed
4
Is the blight upon your blighted life
5
And his might is his legal right
6
To ground you down
7
Stepchild, with every petty swipe
8
You just might find youÒ‘re fighting for your life
9
And the father who must be killed
10
Is a step farther but nonetheless
11
The way he chews his food
12
Rips right through your senses
13
Stepchild, thereÒ‘s a knife in a drawer in a room downstairs
14
And you, you know what you must do
15
So the stepchild ran with a knife to his sleeping frame
16
And slams it in his arms, his legs, his face, his neck and says
17
"ThereÒ‘s a law against me now"
18
And the father who must be killed
19
With his dying breath, he grabs her hand
20
And he looks into her eyes
21
He says "IÒ‘m sorry" and he dies
22
"Stepchild, I release you
23
With this broken voice I beseech you"
24
"Why are lives so short?"
25
The stepchild thought half pointing to the sky
26
"No one to warn me
27
No hand to touch me
28
And no Bible-Belters to mess with me
29
Mama donÒ‘t miss me
30
Mama donÒ‘t miss me
31
This death will complete me"
32
"But where I go there will be no one to meet me
33
I know there will be no one to meet me"
34
But still the step-child press the knife to her throat
35
Half pointing to the sky
36
"Just as mother-less birds fly high
37
Then so shall I
38
So shall I
39
So shall I
40
So shall I
41
So shall I"
Morrissey - Suedehead
