Lullaby For Parents To Be

Let ‘em be brave
Let ‘em be weak
Let ‘em procure the family disease

Let ‘em grow tall
Bang their heads on the wall
Let ‘em struggle to deal with whatever befalls

Let ‘em destroy tradition
Let ‘em battle God
Let ‘em drink whisky
& curse at their ma

Let ‘em know they’re alone
Let ‘em find trouble there
Let ‘em lash out & breakdown
& pull out their hair

Let ‘em be heard
Let ‘em be crass
Let ‘em retreat & smoke lots of grass

Let ‘em struggle with growing
As they’re writhing & moaning
Let ‘em trouble your conscience with all their foregoing
