Lyrics The State of Massachusetts

She had excuses and she chose to use them
She was the victim of unspeakable abuses
Her husband was violent
Malicious and distant
Her kids now belong to the state of Massachusetts
They've been taken away
They've been taken away
Billy was a bright one
Tommy's off his head
Mother loved them both the same
At least that's what she said
I don't predict the future
I don't care about the past
Send them both to DSS
Now you've had your chance
The poison stole your babies
The judges took your rights
You can have your children or the night
I suppose you've been a victim
I suspect you may have lied
If you've lost all ambition won't you give this thing a try
If you can't and you fail you won't be the only loser
These kids don't stand a chance with you in their future
They've been taken away
They've been taken away
Billy was a bright one
Tommy's off his head
Mother loved them both the same
At least that's what she said
I don't predict the future
I don't care about the past
Send them both to DSS
Now you've had your chance
The poison stole your babies
The judges took your rights
You can have your children or the night
The poison stole your babies
The tenants took your rights
You can have your children all the day
Billy was a bright one
Tommy's off his head
Mother loved them both the same
At least that's what she said
I don't predict the future
I don't care about the past
Send them both to DSS
Now you've had your chance
The poison stole your babies
The judges took your rights
You can have your children or the night
