Verse 1
without a name I'd know his face
In this city the kid's my favorite
F
Dsus4
I've seen him
Seen him run outside looking for
a place to hide from his father
F
Dsus4
The kid half naked and said to myself "Oh,
D
G
what's the matter here?"
C
D
Em
I'm tired of the excuses everybody uses,
C
D
G
he's their kid I stay out of it
C

C
D
But who gave you the right to do this?
Verse 2
G
We live on Morgan Street
Just ten feet between and his mother,
I never see her
F
But her screams and cussing,
Dsus4
G
I hear them every day
Threats like: "If you don't mind
I will beat on your behind"
"Slap you, slap you silly"
F
Dsus4
Made me say, "Oh,
D
G
what's the matter here?"
C

I'm tired of the excuses everybody uses,
C
D
G
he's your kid, do as you see fit

But get this through that I don't approve of what you did to you own flesh and blood

Answer me and take your time
Em
What could be the awful crime
C
D

he could do at such young an age?

If I'm the only witness to your madness offer me some

words to balance out what I see and what I hear
C
Dsus4
D
Em
All these cold and rude things that you do I
C
D
G
suppose you do because he belongs to you
