Em  Am  F  C  Dm  C

[Verse 1]
Am                  F
Mothers love their children
     Dm           C
Even when they're violent.
       Am       F
‘Cause all good sons and daughters
         Dm        C
Love the ones they look like.

[Verse 2]
Am                 F
Fathers keep their kids safe
        Dm    C
On the street men died.
       Am               F
‘Cause all good sons or fathers
           Dm       C
Know that kids are frightened 
C
Of them.

Am  F  C  Dm  C

[Verse 3]
Am                  F
Went home with your rocket
       Dm      C
But a nearing spirit
Am               F
Survived a death adder
         Dm         C
But you drowned in liquid

[Verse 4]
Am                    F
You learned from your father
        Dm     C
How to husband animals.
    Am                F
And I learned from my father
     Dm          C
That all men are animals.

[Verse 5]
Am              F
Jesus, you’re a fire
       Dm       C
In my foreskin everyday.
Am                 F
Burning, oh you’re burning
          Dm     C
Dead and lonely you remain.
