It's summer of this year
His mother has a guarantee
Anything you want and need
"I promise, son, you'll see."
His family's all home now
Brothers, sisters, home now
The house is full, coloured pink
Fire's hot with lots to drink (hehe)
He hopes this dream will stay him strong
"How would I be if we could get along?"
It's not real, it's just words to a song
And he never learned to sing alo-o-o-ong
Why would you go and change the so-o-o-o-ong
He never learned to sing alo-o-o-o-ong
It's summer of a year he thought he'd never live to see
He's on the run from a mother smothering him with a guarantee
Of money, love, fame, lust - "Anything you want and need"
"I promise, son, I've never steered you wrong."
Right
See, each family member he has knows home less than the prison
Brothers and sisters have all been taken by the system
Nothing in this house bought with money earned
Time to get out before you get burned (hehe)
He hopes this dream will stay him strong
"How would I be if we could get along?"
It's not real, it's just words to a song
And he never learned to sing alo-o-o-o-ong
Why would you go and change the so-o-o-o-ong
(Why would you go...) ...and change the so-o-o-o-ong
He never learned to sing alo-o-o-o-ong
He knows he is this way 'cause of y'all
With distance, time heals all
