can't hide

father

do you love me

do you think that i`m any good?

and mother

you would have been there

if you only could. and brother

we used to be so close

now we`re so far apart. and sister there will always be a place for you in my heart

jesus

god

are you there?

i get the feeling

you don`t care. there`s a pain deep inside

i can run

but you know i can`t hide. the house is a mess

i believe i'll go outside for a while

you need a license to drive

but nothing to raise a child

and your alcoholism and fear run deep in my blood

and the welfare lines are always longer at the first of the month

jesus

god

are you there?

i get the feeling

you don`t care. there`s a pain deep inside

i can run

but you know i can`t hide. social worker came to take us for a ride

my self esteem was low

but i held my head up high. and that was the only time

i saw my dear grandmother cry. `cause as white trash i was born

and well that`s how i`m gonna die. jesus

god

are you there?

i get the feeling

you don`t care. there`s a pain deep inside

i can run

but you know i can`t hide.
