a failed marriage left the mother to care
love is gone but the kid's are still there
a broken home has become commonplace
the look of anguish on the child's face
being there just for conception
made a promise that was all a deception
deadbeat dad always staying away
deadbeat dad in disgrace and despair
to the kids it's not fair
biology can only go so far
when your gone it leaves a scar
children learn to live without
being there is what it's all about
deadbeat dad lost in a haze
deadbeat dad set in his ways
deadbeat dad won't do his part
