These ones I love
Why Mommy and Daddy?
Why mommy and daddy, Why?
Please help us to understand-
What bad things did you do
That made those policemen come
After you?
Wasn't just you they took away-
Susie and I were yanked that
Night, too. We cried, we begged-
But they would not let us come
With you.
Why, mommy and daddy, Why?
Please help us to understand-
Is the meth more special to
You; the alcohol more loving
Than me and Sue?
Susie and I-we live with
Strangers now, in a new house.
They try-they really do, but
They have their own kids and
Now, us, too.
Why, mommy and daddy, Why?
Please help us to understand-
We could go home caseworker said;
If only you'd complete the
Treatment plan.
Why, mommy and daddy, Why?
You can't help us understand.
A policeman came today.
Found you dead; overdose he said.
Why, mommy and daddy, Why?
