Your daddy beat you up

Your daddy beat you down

Your daddy put your mama in the hospital

Your daddy left town...he broke your heart

Your mama drank too much

Your mama hit you in the face

You had to make excuses for the bruises to all your friends

You had to live in disgrace...She broke your heart

Daddy came in your room at night

He took whatever he want

Your daddy was your first time

And your mama never tried to stop him...they

broke your heart

My mama beat me up

My mama beat me down

My brother raped my sister

My family threw me out... they broke my heart

America is the place where the kids got broken hearts

America is the place where the kids got twisted minds

bent on self destruction

America is the place where the kids got their wills broken

into and broken in two

America is the place where the kids got broken hearts

And the adults say hish, keep it down now,

voices carry

They say, don't tell anyone, don't tell em

anything

Don't tell 'em what went on, don't tell 'em

what really happened

Don't tell anyone, don't tell 'em anything

They won't believe you cuz it's all your fault

Hush

I made a bag out of a piece of cloth

I made a wish and I wrote it down on a piece of paper

I put th epaper in the bag and I wished with all

my heart

I said, please please deliver me; low and behold it

became reality

So I can say today

I refuse to believe that god created me to be

tortured

I refuse to believe the earth created me to be

abandoned

I refuse to believe that god created me to be

neglected

I refuse to believe the Earth created me to be

abused

I picked up the pieces of my broken heart off of

the dirty boulevard

I found a punk rock kid who had a needle and

some leather string

I made a wish and I said it, again and again I took

the needle and threaded it

I sewed my broken heart back together again

I got family now, sew my broken heart back together again

I got a wife I love, sew my broken heart back together again

I got two daughters I love, sew my broken heart back together again

I got a family now

Who ever you are, whatever you do, where ever

you are you don't deserve Abuse

Hush
